{{Sudanese President Omer Hassan Al-Bashir will pay a first visit to South Sudan soon since the independence of the new nation in July 2011, said Sudanese foreign minister, Ali Karti.}}<\/p>\n
the minister said this visit will open a new page in the development of bilateral relations between the two neighbours.<\/p>\n
The two countries signed on 27 September a cooperation agreement including the establishment of a demilitarised zone, oil transit, border trade, and four freedoms deal allowing movement of the citizens from the two sides of border.<\/p>\n
Karti did not disclose the date of the visit despite reports saying it would coincide with the meeting of a joint committee to discuss technical details related to the implementation of security arrangements.<\/p>\n
The minister however said the joint security committee chaired by defence ministers will meet during the first week of November.<\/p>\n
Bashir had scheduled to visit Juba last April, in response to a visit of President Salva Kiir to Khartoum on 8 October 2011, but the visit was cancelled following the seizure of Hegilig by the South Sudanese army.<\/p>\n
The African Union Peace and security Council, in a meeting held on 24 October, gave the two countries six weeks to settle their difference on Abyei and five disputed areas.<\/p>\n
However, the Council said it would back a proposal made by the African mediation providing to hold a referendum in October 2013 without the nomads of Missreryia, despite the Sudanese rejection of this proposition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
