Three African countries have signalled their readiness to resume negotiations on a controversial dam that will be the continent's largest.

The move by Ethiopia, Egypt and Sudan came after Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said Thursday his country is ready to return to talks.

We have agreed to continue with technical-level engagements through our water ministers tasked to discuss outstanding issues and arrive at win-win solutions, Abiy said in a Facebook post after speaking to Sudanese Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok.

Through our discussions, we addressed misunderstood issues."
