Egypt and China boost water partnership

Egypt and China emphasized strengthening their water cooperation through the implementation of concrete projects that produce tangible results on the ground. This is part of a joint action plan aimed at supporting water resource management, water reuse, smart irrigation, and digital transformation in the water sector. This assurance came after a visit by a delegation from China's Ministry of Water Resources to Cairo, during which both sides reviewed cooperation in areas such as advanced technologies, water conservation, wastewater treatment, and water infrastructure development. Data indicates that Egypt faces a water deficit of up to 55% and largely depends on the Nile River. The country seeks to benefit from China's expertise to manage its resources more effectively, especially given challenges related to water scarcity and developmental needs. The Chinese side also reaffirmed its support for the Ethiopian Renaissance Dam and emphasized respect for international law to ensure Egypt’s water security.
