Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi: Egypt and the world are facing increasing threats due to water shortages and high risks of drought. Water security is a shared responsibility that requires effective international cooperation, fundraising and technology transfer. The presence of the river's sources in the territory of a country does not give it the right to exclusively control a resource shared by several nations. A bet that Egypt will accept the imposition of a fait accompli or damage to its water security is a losing bet.
