Shoukry, Sudanese FM meet for political consultation in Khartoum

Shoukry, Sudanese FM meet for political consultation: Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry and his Sudanese counterpart Ibrahim Ghandour met in Khartoum on Thursday for the joint political consultation meeting that was originally slated for last week, according to a ministry statement. During the meeting, the two ministers agreed on regulating the media’s coverage of topics pertaining to the two countries’ relations. Shoukry and Ghandour also agreed to coordinate in negotiations over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, and discussed other issues of regional importance.

Notably absent from the statement is any mention of the tensions over the Halayeb and Shalateen region, considering that Sudan filed with the UN its maritime border delineation which includes the Halayeb Triangle, Sudan Tribune reported on Friday. The statement also does not mention the trade spats between the two countries.
