President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi heads to Sudan on a two-day visit on Thursday, which marks his first visit to Sudan in his second presidential term, said Sudanese Ambassador to Egypt Abdel Mahmoud Abdel Halim in a press statement.
Al-Sisi will meet with Sudanese President Omar Al-Bashir and will hold a joint summit with the attendance of the ministers of foreign affairs, irrigation, and electricity.
