Chairman of Sudan’s Sovereignty Council, General Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, returned to the country on Wednesday after an official visit to the Egyptian capital, Cairo, during which he held bilateral talks with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi.
Sudanese Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Ambassador Muhi El-Din Salem, stated that the discussions reviewed the bilateral relations between the two brotherly nations as well as regional and international issues of mutual concern.
According to the minister, General Al-Burhan congratulated President El-Sisi on the successful outcomes of the Sharm El-Sheikh Summit and its positive results for the Palestinian people, which contributed to fostering an atmosphere of security, stability, and peace across the region.
He added that Al-Burhan reiterated Sudan’s appreciation for Egypt’s consistent positions in support of Sudan across various fields.
Ambassador Salem noted that President El-Sisi reaffirmed Egypt’s unwavering stance in support of Sudan’s state institutions and its rejection of any foreign interference in Sudan’s internal affairs. El-Sisi also called on Sudanese parties to unite in order to safeguard their nation and its resources.
The Egyptian President, Salem added, emphasized Egypt’s ongoing commitment to doing everything possible to help Sudan return to normalcy and achieve lasting peace.
The minister further revealed that both leaders shared identical views that former U.S. President Donald Trump’s initiative — which succeeded in halting the fighting in Gaza — had created a favorable environment for sustainable peace in the region. They agreed it would be in the region’s best interest to build upon that momentum to help stop the war in Sudan.
He also noted that the talks addressed the dire humanitarian situation in El-Fasher and other cities besieged by the rebel militias.
