Egypt&rsquo;s current chairmanship of the African Ministers' Council on Water (AMCOW) is a further testament to its commitment. As chair, Egypt seeks to promote regional collaboration on water issues and strengthen member states&rsquo; efforts toward fulfilling the water-related targets of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)", he added, "Additionally, Egypt is fostering closer bilateral cooperation in the domain of water with a number of African countries, notably Nile Basin countries. Egypt is actively funding and implementing a range of water projects, including well drilling, waterway clearing, establishing rain prediction centers, port rehabilitation, and rainwater harvesting dams"&nbsp;
He also urged the international community to support Africa with the necessary resources to ensure water security for the African region, "I call on the international community to urgently bolster its support for African states&rsquo; endeavors in water resources management and to provide essential funding and technology for projects and programs that seek to enhance water security, spur development, and foster peace in the African continent".&nbsp;
