Sudan Foreign Minister Ali Youssef Sharif said in an interview with Russia on Wednesday that the agreement signed in Moscow was on the desk following talks in Moscow for the creation of a Russian naval base in Sudan.
Such a deal has been discussed for years since the signing of an agreement under former President Omar al-Bashir. The military commanders who lifted him in 2019 have later reviewed the project and that a site has never been operating.
“At our meeting, we did not negotiate the contract … a contract was signed and there was no disagreement,” he said.
“There are no obstacles, we are in full agreement,” Sharif said earlier when he asked Russian opponent Sergei Lavrov.
He did not provide additional details in the project.
