Agreement reached with Uganda on restoring relations

Sudanese state media said on 29 September that delegates from Sudan, Uganda, Egypt and Libya would hold a meeting in Khartoum in October to discuss arrangements for improving Sudanese-Ugandan relations. External Relations Minister Dr Mustafa Uthman Isma’il said fundamental principles, “such as non-interference in domestic affairs and gradual restoration of diplomatic and economic relations”, had been agreed on during a meeting of the foreign ministers of the four countries held in Kampala last week. It was agreed during the meeting that Uganda would post diplomats in Khartoum under the auspices of Kenya, and Sudan would post diplomats in Kampala under the sponsorship of Libya, said a report by Sudanese state media, monitored by the BBC.
