Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia are scheduled to hold a trilateral meeting over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) on 4-5 April, Al Masry Al Youm reports. The meeting will bring together the three countries’ irrigation and foreign ministers and intelligence chiefs. Egypt had agreed last month to postpone the meeting, which had been set for 24-25 February, after Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn’s sudden resignation. Talks over the dam had reached a stalemate after Ethiopia and Sudan both refused to acknowledge the results of environmental impact studies showing the dam would severely cut into Egypt’s Nile water supply. The three then agreed in January to reach a solution on the issue within one month.

The message was delivered to Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta by Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry, who is on an official visit.
