Sisi in Khartoum for talks with Bashir
Egyptian President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi arrived in the Sudanese capital of Khartoum Thursday for a two-day visit.
President Sisi was received at the Khartoum International Airport by his Sudanese counterpart Omar al-Bashir.
The Egyptian leader will, among other engagements, hold talks with President Bashir.
Egyptian ambassador to Khartoum Usama Shaltot told the media that bilateral issues would top the two presidents' agenda.
Border disputes
The issues, he explained, include trade and the crises in South Sudan and Libya.
President Sisi is accompanied by his Foreign Affairs, Defence, Water Resources and Agriculture ministers.
Ties between Egypt and Sudan have deteriorated in the recent past, especially over border disputes and the trade restictions.
