President Jacob Zuma has today, 03 September 2015, met with President Omer Al-Bashir of the Republic of the Sudan to discuss strengthening relations between South Africa and Sudan, on the margins of the 70th Anniversary of the Victory of the Chinese Peoples’ War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, taking place in Beijing, in The Peoples’ Republic China.

South Africa and Sudan enjoy warm bilateral relations. Sixteen bilateral agreements have been concluded between the two countries to date.

South Africa seeks to further strengthen cooperation with Sudan in the fields of agriculture,  agro-processing, science and technology, energy, infrastructure development, mining and retail.

The recent official engagement between the two countries took place in February 2015, at the level of a Presidential Working Visit by President Zuma.
Today, the two leaders recommitted themselves to elevating the bilateral Joint Co-operation Commission (JCC) to a Ministerial level.

President Zuma accepted the invitation by President Al –Bashir to visit Sudan.

Earlier in the day the President joined other Heads of State in attending the victory celebrations.
