CAIRO - 15 July 2020: The Sudanese government said Tuesday that his country submitted a report on the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) to the African Union after the end of the negotiations between the ministers of irrigation of Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopian.
The report mentioned that not much progress was achieved during the negotiations that lasted 11 days.
The Egyptian member of the negotiating committee, Alaa El Zawahry, said that the Egyptian report will include the number of meetings, whether they were bilateral or tripartite, led by prime ministers, and the exchanged opinions on technical and legal issues.
