Shoukry Affirms Egypt's Interests Protected by Declaration
The article discusses the official response from Ambassador Sameh Shoukry, the former Minister of Foreign Affairs, regarding the Declaration of Principles agreement signed on March 23, 2015, between Egypt, Ethiopia, and Sudan concerning the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam. Shoukry emphasized that the agreement fully protects Egypt's interests and includes important provisions that serve as legal guarantees and acquired rights under international law, such as preventing severe harm to Egypt's water security. He clarified that Ethiopia did not adhere to the terms of the agreement, especially regarding the filling of the dam without international technical water studies, which threatens Egypt’s rights. Furthermore, he stated that Egypt engaged in lengthy negotiations in good faith, but Ethiopia adopted evasive positions. The recent escalation in Egypt’s tone reflects Egypt's growing frustration after years of diplomatic efforts. Lastly, he noted that Egypt was close to signing an agreement in New York during Trump's presidency, but Ethiopia rejected it for political reasons, highlighting the complexity and significance of this issue for Egypt’s national interests.
