KHARTOUM (HORN OBSERVER) - Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki is in Khartoum for talks with Sudanese officials amid tensions over a longtime border dispute between Sudan and Ethiopia.

Information Minister Yemane Meskel said in a tweet the Red Sea nation president was received by 'the President of Sudan's Sovereign Council, Gen. Abdel Fatah al Burhan, Foreign Minister al-Sadiq al-Mahdi, & other senior Sudanese officials and dignitaries.'

Afwerki will hold talks with Al-Burhan on enhancing cooperation between the two countries and developing bilateral ties, as well as issues of mutual concern.

The two-day visit by Afwerki to Sudan coincided with the planned visit of Feltman to the Horn of Africa region. State Department announced Monday Feltman would be visiting Egypt, Ethiopia, Eritrea and Sudan.


The State Department says the visit will run from May 4 to 13th of this month, noting the envoy will meet key leaders in the region.

The visit, the State Department added, underscores the U.S. government's commitment to 'to lead a sustained diplomatic effort to address the interlinked political, security, and humanitarian crises in the Horn of Africa, and he will coordinate U.S. policy across the region to advance that goal.'

Sudan has had frosty relations with its neighbour Ethiopia in recent months following its re-occupation of Berkat Norain, which had been under Ethiopian control for years.
