Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz has sent a Saudi ministerial delegation to Sudan in a gesture of solidarity as it confronts economic challenges, reported the Saudi press Agency on Friday.

President Omar al-Bashir received on Thursday the delegation that includes Minister of Commerce and Investment Dr. Majid bin Abdullah Al-Qasabi, Minister of Transport Dr. Nabil bin Mohammed Al-Amoudi and Minister of State for African Affairs Ahmed bin Abdulaziz Qattan.

Qasabi announced that the delegation’s visit falls in line with King Salman’s directives to bolster economic relations and increase trade exchange with Khartoum.

He also revealed that Saudi businessmen will carry out visits to Sudan, stressing King Salman’s support for the country’s security and stability.

The Kingdom has not and will not waver in supporting Sudan and its people, in recognition of its position towards Saudi Arabia, he added.

Riyadh, he continued, has provided more than SR23 billion worth of loans for development projects in Sudan in the past four years.
