Sudanese Prime Minister to visit Cairo “soon”

Sudan’s Prime Minister Bakry Hassan Saleh is expected to visit Cairo “soon,” amid rumors that the two countries had broken ties, Sudan’s ambassador to Egypt Abdel Mahmoud Abdel Halim tells Al Shorouk. Abdel Hamid reiterated that Sudan is not “freezing” its diplomatic ties with Egypt, but noted that the two countries need to overcome the “hurdles” in their relations. Sudan’s Foreign Ministry had said earlier this month that ties between Egypt and Sudan are in the midst of a crisis as a result of the dispute over the Halayeb Triangle.
