KHARTOUM, June 1 (Xinhua) -- Sudan's Foreign Minister Ibrahim Ghandour will hold talks with his Egyptian counterpart in Cairo on Saturday, according to Sudan's Foreign Ministry Thursday.
The statement was made following a meeting between Ghandour and Egyptian Ambassador in Khartoum Osama Shaltout.
Ghandour reiterated the special ties as well as importance of communication and consultations between the two countries, the statement said.
Last month Khartoum hosted meetings of the joint political consultation committee, chaired by the two countries' foreign ministers, and discussed a number of points of difference without reaching solutions.
Sudan and Egypt have territorial dispute over Halayeb triangle on the border between the two countries, which Egypt presently controls.
Due to the heightened tensions between the two countries, Sudan banned the Egyptian agricultural exports and reimposed entry visa on the Egyptians who want to enter Sudan after they were exempted from it.
On May 23, Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir announced confiscation of Egyptian armored vehicles in a recent attack by Darfur rebel movements against areas in east and north of the region.
However, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi last week denied that Egypt provided any support for the Sudanese rebels. Enditem
