    NAIROBI

    President Omar al-Bashir met visiting Ethiopian Prime Minister, Meles Zenawi, in Khartoum on Friday to discuss bilateral matters and the Horn of Africa. The Sudanese news agency (SUNA) said they had similar viewpoints on bilateral, regional and economic issues. The two sides praised what they called the positive outcome of meetings between the governors of Sudanese states and Ethiopian regions on the border between the two countries and agreed on a further meeting of the governors in Bahar Dar, Ethiopia. SUNA reported on Saturday that Bahsir had also received an Eritrean delegation, in Khartoum for celebrations to mark the 11th anniversary of the coup that brought him to power. It said he "commended Sudanese-Eritrean relations in all spheres".
