President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has hosted the Egyptian Minister for Foreign Affairs Dr Badr Abdellaty together with his delegation at State House Entebbe.
President Museveni and the Egyptian delegation discussed a number of issues regarding the Nile and how best the stake holding countries can work together to preserve and make better use of it.
During the meeting, President Museveni noted tgat the problem of the Nile Basin is lack of electricity in the tropics, the communities like the Fellahin will use the trees for cooking hence destroy the bio mass, which in the end affects rain patterns and hurts the River Nile.
The meeting observed that the second danger is the practice of primitive agriculture and President Museveni called upon all stake holding countries of the River Nile to engage in high level discussions on how best to utilise the Nile Basin without jeopardizing its existence.
