Irrigation Minister in Addis Ababa to take part in GERD technical studies ministerial meeting: Irrigation Minister Mohamed Abdel Aty flew to Ethiopia on Sunday ahead of the tripartite ministerial meeting on the technical studies of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam scheduled to take place on Wednesday, Ahram Online reports. Abdel Aty will also be visiting the dam itself to observe construction work. The Addis Ababa meeting has been highly anticipated, after Egypt voiced concerns in September on a lack of progress on the technical studies. The Supreme Council for Nile Water gave a preliminary nod to the French consultancy firms’ impact studies this week.
