What are the territories given on lease (or any other way) by some country to other country currently? Is there such map?

1Do you mean like "Guantanamo Bay", or "Hong Kong in the 20th century"?– James KAug 19, 2019 at 14:18

@JamesK yes, like that. I heard, Hambantota (Srilanka) is on lease to China.– ManakAug 20, 2019 at 5:36

1Sri Lanka remains the government authority in Hambantota, even if the Chinese Government has leased some land, so I don't think this is an example.– James KAug 20, 2019 at 5:56

There seems to be only two, if you ignore purely ceremonial leases such as the "JFK Memorial in Runnymead".
Khmeimim Air Base in Syria is leased to the Russian government for a period of 49 years from 2015 to 2064
Guantanamo Bay Base is leased "in perpetuity" by the USA from Cuba.
Both are military facilities with no civilian government.
