Sisi Calls for International Law to Guide Shared River Issues

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said Sunday that issues involving natural resources and transboundary rivers must be addressed in accordance with international law.

Sisi also stressed the principles of good neighbourliness and avoiding harm, setting out the standards he said should guide countries in handling these matters.

His remarks placed shared rivers within the broader question of how states manage natural resources, with an emphasis on their responsibilities toward one another.

The message underscored Egypt’s call for an approach grounded in legal rules and neighbourly relations when addressing resources that cross national borders.
