The vice president of the transitional Sovereign Council of Sudan is in South Sudan for talks, signaling a push for continuing efforts to solicit support from countries in the region.
Vice President Malik Agar arrived in South Sudan’s capital Juba on Wednesday where he was received by foreign and security officials before holding talks with the presidential adviser on security affairs, Tut Gatluak Manime, Sudan Tribune reported.
“First of all, my visit is multifaced and should not be surprising because I am not a new person here. Most of you know me and what I do. But this visit is a visit to see friends, brothers, and colleagues to update ourselves about common issues, share and recollect historical experiences,”
But the other important part of this visit is of course a mission to meet President Salva Kiir Mayardit to deliver to him a message from his brother, Gen Abdel Fattah Al Burhan, president of the transitional sovereign council of the Sudan. The message is all about bilateral matters and the extension of appreciation and compliments of the efforts of President Salva and his administration to promote peace and stability of the region,” Agar explained.
The Sudanese official congratulated President Kiir on his recent visit to Rwanda, Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Burundi to propagate peace and reconciliation in his capacity as the chairman of the East African Community, an economic grouping of eight member countries. He did not say how long he expects to stay in the country for meetings with officials.
