A meeting of the joint border demarcation committee between Sudan and South Sudan was scheduled to run from Sunday to Wednesday in Khartoum under the auspices of the African Union.
The office of the minister at the Sudanese presidency announced Saturday that the meeting will be co-chaired by Abdullah El Sadig from the Sudan side and South Sudan’s Ambassador Darius Garang.
The minister’s office explained that the meeting will try to implement the functions provided for in the Joint Cooperation Agreement signed in September 2012 as well as the matrix for implementation of Addis Ababa agreement.
The joint border committee for the two Sudans was formed in November by the African Union Border Programme as part of a panel headed by former South African President Thabo Mbeki.
