The Sudanese Ministry of Irrigation announced that the foreign ministers of Sudan, Egypt and Ethiopia will hold a meeting tomorrow, Tuesday, under the auspices of the African Union, to discuss ways to resume negotiations on the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam more than two months ago.

This meeting comes after US President Donald Trump's statement last week, in which he said that Egypt could "explode" the Renaissance Dam, if no agreement was reached on it.

The Ministry of Irrigation said in a statement today, "The foreign and irrigation ministers of Sudan, Egypt and Ethiopia will hold a meeting (tomorrow) Tuesday, October 27 under the auspices of the African Union to discuss ways to resume the tripartite negotiations on the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam at the invitation of South Africa, the current chairperson of the African Union session.

Sudan affirmed its adherence to the tripartite negotiations under the auspices of the African Union "to reach a binding agreement on filling and operating the Renaissance Dam."

The statement added, "Sudan will participate in a meeting (tomorrow) Tuesday to discuss negotiation methods different to those followed in the last round by granting a bigger and more effective role to experts and observers."

The United States, the European Union, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, in addition to the African Union, have been participating in the negotiations since the beginning of this year with experts and observers.
