Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry and Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation Mohamed Abdel Aati arrived Wednesday in Khartoum, where they were welcomed by Sudanese Foreign Minister Mariam al-Sadiq al-Mahdi, Irrigation Minister Yasser Abbas, and Egyptian Ambassador to Sudan Hossam Eissa.
The visit comes in light of the continued efforts to bolster Cairo-Khartoum strategic relations, as well as ongoing consultations on various issues of mutual concern, most notably that of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam.
During their visit, the two Egyptian ministers are set to meet with President of Sudan’s Transitional Sovereign Council (TSC) Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok.
They are also scheduled to hold expanded talks with the Sudanese ministers of foreign affairs and irrigation at the foreign ministry’s headquarters.
