Israeli intelligence minister makes Sudan visit
The Israeli intelligence minister, Eli Cohen, has visited Sudan to discuss implementing last year’s bilateral agreement to normalise ties.
The visit – the first of its kind – was not announced in advance.
An Israeli spokesperson said that Mr Cohen and the Sudanese defence minister, Lt Gen Yassin Ibrahim, had signed a memorandum on diplomatic, security and economic issues.
In a statement after his return home, Mr Cohen said he was confident his discussions had laid the foundation for bilateral co-operation and stability in the region.
