KHARTOUM, March 24 (Jonglei Times)-Sudan's Foreign Minister Ibrahim Ghandour and South Sudan Ambassador in Khartoum Mayan Dot on Thursday reviewed arrangements relating to visit of South Sudan President Salva Kiir Mayardit to Sudan.

"Foreign Minister Ghandour and Ambassador Mayan reviewed arrangements relating to visit of President Salva Kiir to Khartoum," said Sudan's Foreign Ministry in a press release Thursday, without fixing a date for the visit.
The meeting also reviewed cooperation between the two countries and speeding up implementation of outcome of recent meetings of the joint political and security committee besides the communication program between the two countries' oil ministries, it said.

Ghandour, according to the release, urged South Sudan government to reactivate the results of talks and agreements reached during the recent visit by South Sudan's First Vice-President to Khartoum.

He reiterated Sudan's keenness to support South Sudan to face its current circumstances.

On Aug. 22 last year, South Sudan's First Vice-President Taban Deng announced during a visit to Khartoum that the two countries have agreed not to support or harbour the rebel groups in the two countries.

However, Khartoum says Juba is still hosting the fighters of the rebel Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM)/northern sector, which is fighting the government at South Kordofan and Blue Nile, besides other rebel groups which are fighting the government in Darfur. Endite.
