"Any discussion about the Renaissance Dam will be related to how to overcome barriers and ensure the water security for the three countries," Ghandour said. "The GERD is an Ethiopian development project, but it also concerns Sudan and Egypt, where all the discussions about it revolve within this tripartite framework," he added. The dam is set to produce around 6,000 megawatts of electricity and expected to be completed by the end of 2017. Last April, the two countries declared a comprehensive cooperation in fields of security, economy, social development and culture.
