Egypt said the latest talks on Ethiopia’s giant Nile dam ended without a breakthrough, but vowed to press ahead with efforts to reach a binding agreement for filling and operating that it deems essential to safeguarding vital water flows.
Two days of discussions between Egyptian, Ethiopian and Sudanese officials in Cairo “did not witness any tangible change in the Ethiopian position,” Egypt’s Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation said in a statement late Monday.
