Sudan’s Foreign Minister Ibrahim Ghandour is scheduled meet his South Sudanese counterpart Barnaba Marial Benjamin in early August in Khartoum.
The meeting is meant to follow-up on implementation of the Joint Cooperation Agreement between the two countries.
In a press statement at the republican palace in Khartoum, Ghandour said the meeting was agreed upon while he visited South Sudan’s capital Juba to attend independence day celebrations on 9 July.
In September 2012, the two Sudans signed nine agreements on a range of issues that they have been negotiating since 2010, initially in accordance with the Post-Referendum Arrangements negotiations provided for in the Southern Sudan Referendum Act, 2009.
