The Sudanese Foreign Ministry summoned on Wednesday South Sudan's Ambassador in Khartoum Mayan Dut to protest against his country's support for Sudanese rebels and hostile campaigns.

Director of the South Sudanese Department at Sudan's Foreign Ministry Abdullah Hassan Eissa called on Juba to respect international conventions and neighborly ties between the two countries.

Dut promised the Sudanese diplomat to convey the protest message to his country as soon as possible.
