Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan met separately with Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok and chairman of the Sovereign Council Lt Gen Abdelfattah El Burhan yesterday during his visit to Sudan. <\/strong><\/p>\n

It was the first visit of a high-level Saudi delegation to Sudan since the fall of Omar Al Bashir<\/a> in April 2019.<\/p>\n

The Saudi Foreign Minister praised the participation of Sudan’s armed forces in the Decisive Storm campaign against the Houthi rebels in Yemen<\/a> since 2015. He discussed with Hamdok and El Burhan cooperation with regard to security in all countries bordering the Red Sea. They also discussed obstacles to Saudi investments in Sudan.<\/p>\n
