Ethiopian Foreign Minister Workneh Gebeyehu on Sunday said his country is keen on the optimal use of the Nile water without prejudice to the rights of the basin countries. 

In a press conference held at the headquarters of the Ethiopian Embassy in Khartoum, Gebeyehu said Addis Ababa is looking forward to establishing good relations with neighboring countries, especially the Nile-basin ones, in areas of mutual interest. 

Ethiopia also pays great attention to economic cooperation with the Arab Gulf countries, especially Saudi Arabia, the Ethiopian diplomat added.
