Sisi Urges International Law to Guide Cross-Border River Issues

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

Sisi also stressed the principles of good neighborliness and avoiding harm, placing them alongside international law as the basis for addressing such matters.

His remarks linked the management of shared rivers to the broader question of how countries deal with natural resources that extend beyond their borders.

The message emphasized that countries’ approaches to these resources should respect their neighbors and avoid causing damage.
