(Egypt Independent)Sudanese Foreign Minister Mariam al-Sadiq called on African leaders and the African Union to put pressure on Ethiopia to reach a binding agreement with Sudan and Egypt on the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD).<\/p>\n
Sadiq said on Friday that a binding agreement between the three parties regarding the dam would open the way for developmental cooperation.<\/p>\n
She stressed Sudan\u2019s position on GERD remains firm, and comes in compliance with the Declaration of Principles and all agreements in this regard.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe called for an expansion to the mechanism (of negotiations) under the chairmanship of the African Union, because we are keen on productive negotiations,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will seek all peaceful means to achieve the interest of Sudan,\u201d she added, emphasizing her country\u2019s eagerness to establish balanced relations with all countries.<\/p>\n
Sudan said last month that it will resort to the International Justice Court in the event that Ethiopia carries out its second filling of GERD without reaching a binding agreement with Egypt and Sudan.<\/p>\n
Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed announced in April that the second filling of GERD will proceed as planned for July\/August.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
