President Sisi discusses Nile issues during South Korea visit

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi visited South Korea to strengthen bilateral ties with President Lee Jae Myung. During the discussions, Sisi emphasized that the Nile River is an existential lifeline for over 100 million Egyptians. He issued a warning against any unilateral actions in the Nile Basin that he claims could threaten Egypt's water interests. Analysts suggest this diplomatic outreach is part of Egypt's strategy to keep Ethiopia and the Horn of Africa on the international agenda as Cairo deepens relations with Asian powers.
