Egypt's President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi will head on Saturday's morning to the Sudanese capital Khartoum, a presidential statement read. This is the first time El-Sisi visits Sudan following the formation of the Sudanese Transitional Sovereignty Council in August 2019. El-Sisi's visit is meant to affirm Egypt's support of Sudan at this critical juncture, the statement added. It is also part of efforts to coordinate visions and stances on various issues of common interest. Scheduled during the visit are an Egyptian-Sudanese summit and meetings with senior Sudanese leaders and officials, the presidential statement noted. The meetings will see discussions over means to cooperate and boost bilateral relations on the military, security, and economic levels, as well as talks about regional and continental developments, such as the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, security in the Red Sea, and Sudan's borders, the presidential statement added.
