(MENAFN) The Khartoum meeting on Friday "tackled all details related to Ethiopia's Renaissance Dam, however, fell short of solving technical issues," according to Arab diplomatic sources quoted by Asharq Al-Awsat.
Sudanese Foreign Minister Ibrahim Ghandour said "We spent the whole day talking as ordered by the leaders of the three countries, but we didn't reach an agreement.. I can't specify what the disagreements were, but they were technical issues."
On his part, Egyptian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Ahmed Abu Zeid said on Friday that the Khartoum talks on Renaissance Dam were held in complete frankness and openness.
The Renaissance Dam is being built by Ethiopia over the Blue Nile River, which nearly half of Egypt's freshwater come from it.
Egypt says it has "historic rights" to the river, guaranteed by treaties from 1929 and 1959, and has expressed mounting alarm over the soon-to-be-completed upstream dam.
