Egypt’s Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation said it has signed 25 agreements with Nile Basin countries since 1999 to implement projects worth $120 million.

The figures were highlighted as Water Resources and Irrigation Minister Hani Sweilam participated in a session at the ninth Cairo Water Week.
