CAIRO – 31 March 2022: Minister of Irrigation and Water Resources Mohamed Abdel Aty discussed Wednesday with Burundi Ambassador to Cairo Sheikh Rashed Malashi the activation of the technical cooperation agreement signed between both countries in the field of the "integrated management of water resources."

 

The press statement released by the ministry indicates that the prospective projects include rainwater harvesting dams, building and maintenance of a rainwater drainage system at cities and villages, and studies pertinent to planning and developing water resources.

 

The meeting tackled the outcomes of the ministry's delegation's visit to Burundi in November, examining ways of accomplishing the technical studies required to prepare the plan.

 

The minister and the ambassador also agreed on holding a virtual meeting to follow up on the steps taken working towards that goal. During the talks, Abdel Aty noted the fulfillment of Burundi's request to train 10 of its water resources professionals at the ministry's Regional Training Center.
