Discussions among Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia on the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) have shown a lack of agreement as regards the methodology for completing negotiations in the coming stage, the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation said in a statement Wednesday.
"This comes after the water ministers of the three countries held a meeting today about the best framework for managing ongoing African Union-brokered negotiations on the Ethiopian dam," the ministry added.

The three countries agreed that each of them would submit a report to South Africa, the current chair of the African Union, including the course of meetings and their vision on ways to implement the outcomes of the two African Union Bureau’s meetings, which were held at the summit level on June 26 and July 21, 2020, the statement read.
"The two meetings have approved a proposal according to which the three countries would conclude a binding legal agreement on filling and operating GERD," it said.
