(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) CAIRO, Oct 14 (KUNA) -- Egyptian Prime Minister Mustafa Madbouli said Sunday countries around the world should exchange future visions in order to increase awareness over importance of water issues.
Madbouli, addressing the opening session of an international conference on "First Cairo Water Week," called for adopting measures to achieve water integration to maintaining water resources "in order to honor need of current generations without harming future generations." He said developing countries in Africa suffered low water resources, as well as electricity and energy in general.
