Sudanese president, Gen. Omar Hassan El-Bashir, hailed Tuesday here the stands adopted by King Hassan II in favor of Khartoum and praised Morocco's role in defending the Holy city of Jerusalem (Al-Quds).

Speaking to reporters upon his arrival in Morocco, the Sudanese president said his visit, which is part of the sound relations binding the two arab and muslim states, will be an occasion to inform the Moroccan king on the situation in Sudan in view of the interest granted by King Hassan II to Sudanese issues.

President El-Bashir said further that he will review with King Hassan II ways of boosting bilateral relations in the economic, commercial and cultural fields in addition to other topical regional and international issues.

Talks will also tackle "peace in Sudan, our external relations and the American aggression against our country," President Bashir added.
