Egypt's President Abdel Fattah El Sisi and Prime Minister Ibrahim Mahlab will receive reports on the fourth round of the tripartite talks of Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan on the Renaissance Dam, Water Resources and Irrigation Minister Hossam Moghazi has said.
The talks concluded in Khartoum on Tuesday.
Ethiopia's Minister of Water, Energy and Irrigation Alemayehu Tegenu, Sudan's Minister of Water Resources and Electricity Mutaz Musa Aballa Salim and the Egyptian minister attended the meetings.
In statements to MENA, Moghazi praised the positive outcome of President Sisi's meeting with Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn on the sideline of the African Summit which was held in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea, which issued a final statement in which Ethiopia promised not to harm Egypt's water share of the River Nile.
He also hailed Sisi's meeting with Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir.
Moghazi said that the positive outcome of these two meetings would have a deep impact on the success achieved in the fourth round of talks after a year and a half of hard negotiations.
