The meeting which will be held under the supervision of the Carter Center will be part of implementing the normalization agreement signed between the President of Sudan, Omar Al-Bashir and President of Uganda, Yoweri Museveni, in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi last December reported KUNA.
Minister of state at the foreign affairs ministry and head of the Sudanese side, Ali Abdelrahman Alnimeiri asserted on Saturday to the Sudanese Alayam newspaper that the joint committee is currently carrying out intensive measures to speed up the implementation of the Nairobi agreement.
KUNA reported that the two countries had accused each other of supporting their respective rebels, a matter which caused diplomatic ties to break in 1994.
