The Egyptian president Alsisi also stated that there had been positive steps when it comes to Egyptian-Ethiopian Nile water relations.
The talks between the two countries of Egyptian-Ethiopian over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam will continue at a summit between the Ethiopian president and El-Sisi in Addis Ababa by the end of January, 2015, to finalize the strategic Nile water agreement.
“We sent to the Ethiopians our suggestions regarding the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam’s technical committee and they sent to us the draft of their suggestions regarding the committee,” El-Sisi said.
“All that we are asking for is to turn the Ethiopian verbal assurances that the dam won’t affect Egypt’s Nile share into a document binding on both parties: Egypt and Ethiopia,” he added.
