Cairo will host on 25 August meetings of the joint Egyptian-Sudanese ministerial committee under the co-chairmanship of foreign ministers from both countries. The planned talks are in preparation for a presidential panel set to take place in October, according to Egypt's Ambassador to Sudan Osama Shaltout. President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi and his counterpart Omar Al-Bashir will co-chair the presidential meetings. The Cairo-hosted talks are meant to draw up a strategic vision for partnership between the two countries in all fields, said Shaltout.
