CAIRO, April 3 (MENA) - Foreign Minister Sameh Shourky will leave here on Wednesday for Khartoum to take part in a meeting on the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) attended by the foreign and irrigation ministers as well as the heads of intelligence agencies in Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia. Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ahmed Abu Zeid said on Tuesday the meeting comes within the framework of an agreement reached among the presidents of the three countries on the fringe of the African Summit held in Addis Ababa in January to remove any hurdles facing negotiations of the three-way technical committee on the GERD project. The spokesman said the three presidents had agreed on approving an initial report on a study to be conducted by a consultancy firm on the dam's potential effects on Egypt and Sudan. He also said the meeting aims at affirming the agreements reached among the three leaders and stressing the importance of abiding by the declaration of principles signed in 2015 by the three countries. Egypt is also looking forward to developing cooperation among the three countries in all fields in view of the vast potentials of cooperation in the investment, trade and technical cooperation fields, the spokesman noted.
