Egypt-Ethiopia to Boost Bilateral Cooperation

An Egyptian delegation comprising representatives of the ministries of irrigation, foreign affairs, and international cooperation traveled to Addis Ababa to prepare for the two-day meetings of the joint cooperation committee which kicks off next Monday.

Water Resources and Irrigation Minister Dr. Hisham Qandeel said he is still doing his routine work in the ministry and will keep so until the military council decides on the resignation which the government submitted on Monday following Tahrir incidents.

The minister said he will take part in the committee meetings which will be attended by ministers and senior officials from the two countries. He also said that he will attend the trilateral meetings which comprises water experts and is responsible for studying the impact of the construction of Millennium Dam.
