Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed arrived in Sudan this morning for a two-day official visit.
During his visit to Khartoum, he is expected to hold talks with President Omar al-Bashir and with the Sudanese vice-president Hassabo Abdel-Rahman.
The visiting Prime Minister will also visit a number of development projects in the country.
On 21 April, President al-Bashir and Prime Minister Abiy Ali had already met in the Ethiopian city of Bahr Dar on the sidelines of the Tana Forum.
Ethiopia and Sudan are engaged more and more in joint security, military and economic cooperation.
In April 2017, the two sides signed a number of joint agreements to promote economic relations and strengthen ties between the two countries.
Also in February, they signed multiple agreements to further boost up cooperation on a range of development activities.
In March 2012, al-Bashir announced his support to the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), saying his government understands the mutual benefits the project could offer Ethiopia and Sudan.
