May 22, 2011 (KHARTOUM) — Khartoum will host a tripartite summit on
Monday 23 May between presidents of Central African Republic, Chad and
Sudan to discuss political and economic cooperation between the three
neighbouring countries.
Following the normalization of bilateral relations between Khartoum
and Ndjamena in January 2010 the two countries deployed a joint force
to secure the border but later extended its activities to the Central
African Republic.
The two countries also banned the movement of rebel groups in the two
sides and kept watching closely any potential presence in the lawless
Central African territory near their boundaries.
Khalid Moussa, spokesperson of the foreign affairs ministry, said the
two day meeting aims at strengthening political, economic and security
cooperation between the three countries.
Sudan and Chad signed different economic cooperation agreements and
also agreed to construct a route to link Ndjamena to Port Sudan on the
Red See. Also Sudan launched the construction of a 158 klm road
between the capital of South Darfur state Nyala and Central Africa.
The Summit also intervenes after the re-election of President François
Bozizé for a second term in January 2011, while President Idriss Deby
is freshly re-elected this month with 88.66 percent of the votes in an
election marred by the opposition boycott.
