Today, President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi met with the President of the Transitional Sovereign Council of Sudan, General Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, on the sidelines of the 8th African Union Mid-Year Coordination Meeting in New Alamein.

The Spokesman for the Presidency, Ambassador Mohamed El-Shennawy, said the meeting addressed the developments in Sudan.

Talks also covered ways to strengthen relations between Egypt and Sudan. The President emphasized Egypt's commitment to continuing its support for the Sudanese people across various fields and to enhancing cooperation frameworks to serve mutual interests and fulfill the aspirations of both the Egyptian and Sudanese peoples for development and prosperity.
