Sudanese President Omar Hassan al Bashir will travel to Saudi Arabia on Wednesday on a two-day visit for talks with King Salman Bin Abdel Aziz, according to Sudan Tribune.
Abdul Hafiz Ibrahim, Sudan’s envoy in Riyadh, told London-based Asharq al Awsat newspaper that Bashir’s trip to Saudi Arabia will bring about a “monumental leap” in supporting the process of cooperation between the two countries as well as promoting integration within the framework of the mutual interests of the two brotherly peoples.
He expected the talks to deal with the Sudan’s efforts to address the challenges faced by its economy as well as reviewing Saudi Arabia’s efforts to promote bilateral cooperation within the joint committee with arrangements underway for its fifth session in Khartoum early next May.
The Sudanese diplomat also said that he expects the talks to tackle the crisis in Yemen and Libya.
