Egyptian President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi received in Cairo on Monday deputy head of the ruling Sudanese military council, General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo.
Discussions with Dagalo, commonly known as Hemedti, tackled the developments in Sudan, said presidential spokesman Bassam Radi according to the MENA news agency.
Sisi underscored Egypt’s firm strategic stance in supporting the stability and security of Sudan and its people.
They also discussed bilateral relations and projects, most notably energy plans between the two neighbors.
The meeting took place a day before the military council and coalition of opposition groups are set to resume negotiations to finalize an agreement for a three-year transition to elections. The two sides signed a deal on July 17 determining the transition's institutions.
The deal would establish a joint civilian-military sovereign council that would rule Sudan for a little over three years while elections are organized.
