Egyptian President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi reiterated his country’s complete support to Sudan’s security and stability during a telephone call with Chairman of Sudan’s Sovereign Council Abdel Fattah al-Burhan on Saturday
They agreed to continue intense coordination and consultation in the future, given their national security and the historic bilateral ties.
According to presidential spokesman Bassam Rady, the leaders discussed cooperation and regional developments.
Sisi congratulated the Sudanese government and people on their country’s Independence Day.
Burhan, for his part, hailed the deep popular and government rapprochement between Cairo and Khartoum, as well as the mutual efforts to improve joint cooperation.
He praised Cairo’s full support to preserve Sudan’s safety and stability, Rady added.
Both countries share wide cooperation relations that deepened after the ouster of Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir in 2019 and Burhan’s assumption of the Council’s presidency.
Sisi and Burhan last met in October 2020 when the Sudanese leader visited Cairo for talks on the implementation of joint development projects.
