Madbouly Says Egypt’s Water Security Is a National Security Issue

Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly said the country’s water security is a matter of national security, referring to the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam in Ethiopia.

His remarks framed water security as a central national priority for Egypt, rather than solely an issue of managing water resources.

The reference to the Ethiopian dam placed the project within that broader security context, underscoring the importance Cairo attaches to the issue.

Madbouly’s statement conveyed Egypt’s position on the significance of water security without detailing any new measures or proposals concerning the dam.
