The Egyptian and Sudanese foreign ministers both stressed in a meeting in Cairo on Saturday the importance of maintaining good relations between the two countries, state news agency MENA reported.

During his visit, Sudan’s Foreign Minister Ibrahim Ghandour delivered to Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi a letter from Sudanese President Omar Al-Bashir.

Ghandour extended his country’s condolences to El-Sisi over the recent death of 30 Egyptian Christians in a terrorist attack in Egypt’s Minya, which has been claimed by the militant group Daesh.

El-Sisi called for the continuation of regular bilateral meetings between the foreign ministers of Egypt and Sudan.
