President of Eritria visits Sudan

Isaias Afworki, president of Eritria, started yesterday an official visit to Sudan, which is the first since his assumption to the power in year 1993.

Sudanese sources assured that Afworki held talks with the Sudanese president Omar El-Bashir that tackled accelerating the normalization process between the two countries, clarifying that Afworki's visit met with the Sudanese leader's welcome.

Eritria reopened its embassy in Khartoum in last January.

It is worthy to mention that the diplomatic relations between the two countries stopped in 1995 due to mutual accusations between the two countries.
