Sudan, Egypt to cooperate on mineral resources exploration: Sudan's Minerals Ministry and Egypt's National Research Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics (NRIAG) signed an MoU on cooperation on geophysical exploration of minerals and oil, according to Xinhua. The agreement designed a geotechnical map and could monitor the movement of the Nile River's water, particularly during the flood season. The MoU “stipulates exchange of information between Sudan and Egypt at the regional and international level,” the head of Sudan’s Geological Research Authority said.
