Sudan’s Foreign Minister and Minister of International Cooperation, Mohieddin Salem, will pay an official visit to Türkiye on July 28-29, as Ankara seeks to deepen bilateral ties while reaffirming its support for Sudan’s sovereignty and efforts to end the country’s conflict.
According to Türkiye’s Foreign Ministry, Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan is expected to hold talks with Salem focusing on political, economic and humanitarian cooperation, as well as regional developments, particularly in the Horn of Africa.
The ministry said Fidan will reiterate Türkiye’s support for Sudan’s sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity, while emphasizing Ankara’s commitment to diplomatic efforts aimed at achieving lasting peace and stability in the African country.
Sudan has been engulfed in civil war since April 2023 after a dispute between the army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) over plans to integrate the paramilitary force into the regular military collapsed into open conflict.
U.N. estimates indicate the war has killed tens of thousands of people and displaced nearly 13 million at its peak, making it one of the world's largest displacement crises.
