El-Baz asks Khartoum to rectify atmospheres with Egypt

Osama El-Baz, the political advisor for Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, said on the margin of the cooperation conference between Egypt and the Russian Commonwealth countries yesterday that Egypt has shown many times that it does not mind improving relations with Sudan, but this improvement should not be one-sided.

El-Baz called on Khartoum to reconsider issues that "pollute" the atmospheres between the two countries if the Egyptian and Sudanese governments are to improve and develop bilateral relations.
