ADDIS ABABA - 15 May 2018: Egypt's ministerial delegation participating in a nine-way meeting on the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) arrived on Tuesday.

The Egyptian delegation includes Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry, Acting Chief of Intelligence Abbas Kamel and Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation Mohamed Abdel Aati.

The ministers of foreign affairs, irrigation, heads of intelligence agencies in Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia are participating in the nine-way meeting on GERD.




The meeting aims at following up on the outcome of the first nine-way meeting held in Khartoum on April 4 based on directives of leaders of the three countries during their summit meeting held in Addis Ababa in January.

The three-way technical committee meeting on GERD, held in Addis Ababa on May 5, has failed to ratify an introductory report of the consultancy office, which has already been approved by Egypt.

Today's meeting aims at working out solutions to pending problems facing the technical committee and consequently special studies on determining the negative impact of the dam's construction on the upstream Nile Basin countries.
