Egypt FM arrives in Sudan to prepare for dam summit

Egypt's Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry arrived in Khartoum Sunday to prepare for the trilateral summit, which will be held Monday between the presidents of Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia.
The three leaders are expected to sign the document of declaration of principles on the Ethiopian Renaissance Dam.
Sudanese Foreign Minister Ali Karti, Egypt's Ambassador to Sudan Osama Shaltout received Shoukry upon arrival at Khartoum International Airport.
Earlier, Ethiopian Foreign Minister Tedros Adhanom also arrived in Khartoum along with his accompanying delegation in order to prepare for the three-way summit.
The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam has been a point of contention between Egypt and Ethiopia, as Egypt fears the dam will have damaging effects on its share of the Nile water.
Ethiopian officials insist the dam will not hamper Egypt's water share and have instead pointed to gains in electricity production offered by the project.
