Sudan PM Stresses Need to Reach Legally Binding Agreement on GERD

On Thursday, Sudanese Prime Minister (PM) Abdalla Hamdouk stressed his country's firm position regarding Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) crisis. 

This came during his meeting with UN Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs and Peacebuilding Affairs Rosemary DiCarlo.

During their meeting, Hamdouk said that Sudan does not oppose the construction of the dam, but it rejects Ethiopia's unilateral, ill-considered steps. He also underlined the need to reach a legally binding agreement that meets the interest of all parties.

On her part, DiCarlo confirmed that the United Nations Environment Program will provide technical support on the GERD issue.
