Mubarak receives message from Bashir
Egypt-Sudan, Politics, 9/11/2001

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak Monday received a message from Sudanese President Omar Hassan Al-Bashir on bilateral relations and the Egyptian -Libyan initiative on restoring peace in Sudan during a meeting with Sudanese Information Minister Mahdi Ibrahim.

Minister of Information Safwat Al-Sherif made these statements after the meeting that included also Sudanese Foreign Minister Mustafa Othman Ismail.

"Ibrahim briefed President Mubarak on the agreement signed between both sides on media cooperation," added Sherif.

President Mubarak entrusted the two Sudanese Ministers with a message to President Bashir on means of pushing joint action in the political domain, he added.

"President Mubarak underlined in his message Egypt's keenness on the unity and sovereignty of Sudan and that the Egyptian side rejected any attempt to partition Sudan," added Sherif.

Ibrahim said the meeting also dealt with the Egyptian -Libyan initiative as an important cornerstone to put an end to the war in south Sudan and to establish peace there, he said.

The initiative is the best one floated to contain this war erupting in Sudan during the past five decades, he added.

The Sudanese official asserted President Bashir's welcome to the initiative, considering it a sound strategic basis to deal with Sudan's problem.
