Iran, Sudan FMs express determination to promote cooperation after 7-year hiatus in ties
The Iranian foreign minister and his Sudanese counterpart have expressed the determination of their countries to strengthen cooperation as a new chapter has opened in mutual ties after a 7-year hiatus.
"The presence of the Sudanese delegation in Tehran indicates the firm determination of high-ranking Sudanese officials to expand relations," Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said in a meeting with his Sudanese counterpart Ali al-Sadiq Ali in Tehran on Monday.
He added that the reopening of the two countries' embassies and resumption of the ambassadors' mission would play an important role in improving bilateral cooperation.
The top Iranian diplomat noted that the country has great capacities and experience in the industrial sector, technical and engineering services, modern technologies, medicine and pharmacology, which it can share with Sudan to help the African country achieve development and progress.
The Sudanese foreign minister, for his part, regretted that Tehran and Khartoum had severed relations, and said his country is resolute on boosting ties with Iran in various fields.
Warning about Israel's attempts to extend war and internal crisis in Sudan, the minister noted that the Sudanese government and nation support Palestinians' cause and condemn Israel's atrocities against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.
Back in October 2023, Iran and Sudan agreed to restore diplomatic relations after seven years to serve the two countries' interests.
Tehran and Khartoum decided to restore relations after Iran and Saudi Arabia signed a China-brokered agreement in March 2023 to resume ties following a seven-year break.
Riyadh closed its diplomatic missions in Tehran in 2016 after they were ransacked by protesters enraged by the Saudi execution of top Shia cleric Nimr Baqir al-Nimr.
