ArabFinance: Egypt, Ethiopia, and Sudan will continue negotiations on the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) on August 18th, according to a ministerial statement.
The new round of discussions aims to reach an agreement on the filling and the operation of the GERD in the quickest possible time, the Egyptian foreign ministry added in an August 16th statement note.
