Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi renewed calls for Ethiopia to engage in good faith with Egypt and Sudan to reach a legally binding agreement on the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) in his speech on Friday during the first China-Arab Summit in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
“I renew the call for the brothers in Ethiopia to necessarily engage in good faith with Egypt and Sudan to reach a legally binding agreement that ensures the right of development of the current and future generations and spare them what threatens their stability, security and integrity,” El-Sisi said.
The president also called for placing the Arab water security file on top of priorities of Arab-Chinese cooperation in the future as part of the China-Arab States Cooperation Forum (CASCF).
El-Sisi also called for technical, economic and political cooperation to face the Arab water security challenge.
