CAIRO, 9 March, 2021 (TON): Foreign Minister of Egypt Sameh Shoukry says, the country hopes to continue talks soon with Ethiopia over the Grand Renaissance Dam (GRD) in order to reach an agreement.

The agreement seeks to serve the interests of the three parties involved in the dispute, i.e. Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia.  

Shoukry said that his country has been conversing with Ethiopia over the GRD that Egypt fears will significantly cut its crucial water supplies from River Nile.

Shoukry cited, no talks on the matter were made outside the framework of the African Union (AU).

As the two sides, Egypt and Sudan voiced concern about the threats posed by the dam, that if Ethiopia disagreed to sign the agreement it would affect their water share.
