KHARTOUM, May 8 (Xinhua) -- President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) Felix Tshisekedi, also the current chairperson of the African Union, presented a new initiative on Saturday regarding the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) issue.
The initiative was announced by Tshisekedi during his talks with Chairman of Sudan's Sovereign Council Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan in Khartoum, capital of Sudan.
"The initiative is under study by the authorities concerned," Sudanese Foreign Minister Mariam Al-Sadiq Al-Mahdi said after the talks, without giving further details.
"Sudan stands with Ethiopia's rights to develop its capabilities, benefit from the waters of the Blue Nile and develop its resources, without prejudice to the rights of others, especially the rights of Sudan and Egypt," Al-Mahdi noted.
