Egypt to reopening of trilateral talks on Nile dam

Egypt looks forward to taking part in the next round of trilateral talks with Ethiopia and Sudan on an Ethiopian dam built on their shared Nile river, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry said. The ministry's statement came after the foreign and water ministers of the three countries concluded a virtual meeting, Xinhua reported. Egypt wants to reach "a binding legal agreement" on how to operate the Ethiopian giant dam as soon as possible, the ministry said. It also highlighted the necessity of reaching "a fair and balanced agreement that achieves the common interests of the three countries and preserves their water rights." During the last round of trilateral talks held earlier this month, Egypt voiced its discontent as no progress was made in the negotiations. (IANS)
