Preparations for coming round of talks on Ethiopia dam

A delegation of experts of the three-way national committee on the Ethiopian Renaissance Dam wrapped up meetings on Monday in preparation for the coming round.
The meetings, which were led by Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation Hossam Moghazi, also aimed at completing the studies on the dam.
Moghazi said the coming meetings will be held in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa on Wednesday and Thursday and will be led by the water resources of Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan.
He pointed out that the three countries share identical viewpoints on the dam after the signing of the Document of the Declaration of Principles between the leaders of the three countries in the Ethiopian capital recently.
Alaa Yassin, an Adviser to Moghazi, said on Sunday that four international consultancy offices were competing to win a bid for implementing studies on the dam.
In statements to MENA, Yassin said the Document of the Declaration of Principles on the Ethiopian Renaissance Dam played a role in promoting cooperation between Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan.
