The seminar came “to clarify Egypt's efforts to work out a deal that takes into consideration the interests of the three countries," he added. Since May 2011, Cairo has voiced its concern over how the dam can reduce the country’s annual shares of 55.5 billion cubic meters of Nile water. Earlier, Ethiopia announced completing the first filling of the dam, although a binding agreement among Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia has not been reached. “However, these efforts did not end with the “expected results,” said Sisi.
