The tripartite technical meeting of Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, which was held over the last couple of days by the irrigation ministers of Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan, was ended in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa on Sunday, with no tangible results. Ethiopia holds onto its position on the initial technical report, which qualifies for the preparation of the technical report that defines the safe path of the dam. Disagreement continued on the report throughout the tripartite meeting which was held in Khartoum. Ethiopia announced that the tripartite technical meeting has discussed issues that guarantee the common interests of the three countries. At the end of the tripartite meeting, the three countries passed their comments on the initial report prepared by the French advisory office.
