Eritrean Foreign Minister arrives in Khartoum
Khartoum, Aug. 13 (SUNA) - Eritrean Minister of Foreign Affairs, Osman
Saleh, arrived in Khartoum Wednesday carrying a message to President of
the Republic Field Marshal Omer Al-Bashir from his Eritrean counterpart
Issias Afeworki dealing with issues of mutual concern.
In this regard, Minister of Foreign Affairs Deg Alor, who received Salih
at Khartoum Airport, said in a statement to SUNA his Eritrean
counterpart would hand a message from President Afeworki to President
Al-Bashir during his two-day visit to Sudan. Meanwhile, Alor said he
would leave Thursday to Asmara on a mission related to the return of
Eritrea to the IGAD organization, referring to the recent decision by
Presidents of the IGAD's member states in Ethiopia to assign the
Ministers of Foreign Affairs of Sudan and Kenya to convey the
Presidents' points of views to President Afeworki in a bid to end
Eritrea's suspension to its membership in the IGAD. The Minister
revealed that they will call on President Issias Afeworki on August 15
in this connection. MF/BT
