Khartoum: Wali of Khartoum State, Ahmed Othman, met today with the Turkish Ambassador to Sudan, Fateh Yilmaz, and his accompanying delegation, in the presence of the Acting Minister and Director-General of the Ministry of Culture, Information, and Tourism for the state, Al-Tayib Saad-Eddin. The meeting focused on arrangements for the embassy's return to its premises in Khartoum and ways to support the government following its reinstatement in the capital.
According to Sudan News Agency, the Wali expressed gratitude for the Ambassador's visit, marking his second since the liberation of Khartoum. He commended the President and people of Turkey for their support of Sudan's government during the war, noting the significance of the visit as it coincides with the return of the Government of Hope to Khartoum. The Wali emphasized that the embassy's presence in the capital will facilitate cooperation between the two countries and pledged to provide all necessary support to ease the embassy's operations, particularly in securing alternative premises to enable it to resume its work.
The Turkish Ambassador highlighted that this visit differs from previous ones, as it is concentrated on resuming the embassy's operations from Khartoum and reconstructing the embassy building, the ambassador's residence, and staff housing that were damaged during the war. He expressed his appreciation to the Wali of Khartoum for the facilitation provided to the embassy's work in the gradually recovering capital and reiterated the embassy's readiness to support the government in Khartoum, offering assistance in any requirements related to reconstruction.
