(Nov 28, (Egypt Independent))--During a visit to Egypt’s Parliament on Monday, Ethiopia’s Cairo ambassador Taye Atske-Selassie Amde met with members of the African Affairs Committee to discuss a number of issues of mutual concern, including the construction of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, which he said would not harm Egypt’s interests.
Another point of discussion was the upcoming visit by Ethiopian prime minister Hailemariam Desalegn to Cairo, scheduled for mid-December, during which he will deliver a speech to Egypt’s Parliament, Amde told Al-Masry Al-Youm.
On the construction of the dam, the ambassador expressed his country’s keenness to continue negotiations with Egypt and Sudan, which have stalled due to differences over how the dam will affect Egypt’s share of Nile water as specified in a 1959 treaty.
Member of the African Affairs Committee Hatem Bachat said the Ethiopian ambassador reassured MPs that Addis Ababa would not do harm to their Egyptian brothers. Read more from Egypt Independent »
