Countries at the UN Security Council seem to have maintained a balanced position on the dispute over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam.

The meeting echoed differing international positions and an impartiality of a number of international key players. This weakened the possibilities of a Security Council vote on a negotiated solution to the GERD dispute.
