A tripartite meeting between Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia will be held in two weeks in Khartoum to resume negotiations on the impact of the Renaissance Dam on the downstream countries.
The decision was taken in a meeting of 12 experts from Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia along with representatives from the two international consultancy offices - the French BRL Group and the Dutch Deltares, which wrapped up in Cairo on Friday.
The irrigation ministers of Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia are scheduled to take part in Khartoum's planned talks.
Egypt's Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation Hossam Moghazi said that Cairo's three-day talks tackled technical aspects of the study which would be conducted by the two foreign consultants.
The Renaissance Dam is a gravity dam on the Blue Nile River in Ethiopia currently under construction.
Egypt fears a temporary reduction of water availability due to the filling of the dam and a permanent reduction because of evaporation from the reservoir.
