How do we 'divide' soveriegn airspace with the French at the narrowest point?
The FIR boundaries actually favour us in terms of airspace down the narrower parts of the Channel. However having said that Lille TMA extends into our FIR...

Albeit FIR boundaries aren't sovereign boundaries as someone has already noted.

Interestingly, Singapore has been in charge of a large swathe of Indonesian airspace since 1946. Indonesia not ready to take over airspace from Singapore | The Jakarta Post

melmothtw, Let's hope that Jakarta Post article doesn't open a can of nationalistic worms and push their government into providing ATC before they feel ready.
In any case, it's a nice little avoidance of the expense of doing so and suits both countries.
