  1. “France solemnly calls on Ethiopia, Egypt and the Sudan to demonstrate responsibility, compromise and cooperation in order to settle the outstanding issues expeditiously. France will remain mobilized so that a negotiated solution can be found as soon as possible. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I give the floor to the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Egypt.”

  2. “We call on them to refrain from any action that could hinder the continuation of discussions and the achievement of a negotiated solution. France commends the efforts of the African Union chairmanship to support the negotiations, especially the personal engagement of President Ramaphosa, and now, President Tshilombo Tshisekedi. Those efforts must continue and be intensified. We encourage the United Nations to continue to bring its expertise to bear on the process and urge the three parties to accept a more active role for observers in the negotiations. Thirdly, France is convinced that an agreement can quickly be reached between the parties on the filling and management of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam. There are elements of convergence, which must form the basis of negotiations, under the auspices of the African Union.”

  3. “In the absence of prior agreement, the continued filling of the dam reservoir is exacerbating tensions. At a time when regional stability is under threat, the priority is to avoid compounding each country’s current challenges. Those challenges include the democratic transition in the Sudan, whose success is a priority for France, and the challenges facing Egypt in meeting the needs of its population. Also included are the development challenges in Ethiopia. The conflict in Tigray has fueled other tensions, particularly in the Al-Fashaga triangle area. Secondly, we call on the countries of the region to show political will in order to resolve their differences through dialogue, with the support of the African Union. The solution can come only from dialogue among the parties.”

  4. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of France. I welcome the Foreign Ministers of Egypt and the Sudan and the Minister of Water, Irrigation and Energy of Ethiopia to the Security Council. I would like to thank Mr. Onanga-Anyanga, Ms. Andersen and the Chargé d’affaires of the Democratic Republic of the Congo for their briefings. I would like to stress three points on the issue under consideration. First, the responsibility of the Security Council is to prevent the prolongation of this dispute from becoming a threat to the maintenance of international peace and security. That is why it was important for this meeting to take place. All parties have legitimate interests, but after 10 years of negotiations, trust has eroded.”
