Egypt: Water is vital to our foreign strategy
Egypt's Foreign Minister, Sameh Shoukry, affirmed Egypt's firm stance on its water rights, emphasizing that there is no tolerance for any loss of water, especially amidst the country's current water scarcity crisis. He clarified that the per capita water share in Egypt does not exceed 550 cubic meters annually, which is below the water poverty line. He also pointed out that unilateral policies and the failure to adhere to legal commitments hinder progress toward resolving the Ethiopian Renaissance Dam issue.
