At their most recent meeting in October, El-Sisi and Al-Burhan discussed developments on the ground in Sudan, as well as international and regional efforts to end the war and restore stability.
El-Sisi reaffirmed Egypt’s firm support for Sudan’s unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity, rejecting any attempts to threaten its security, undermine national cohesion, or establish parallel governing bodies in place of Sudan’s legitimate government.
Al-Burhan expressed appreciation for Egypt’s continued support, saying it reflected the depth of ties between the two countries and backed Sudan’s efforts to overcome its crisis and restore peace.
The two leaders also reiterated their rejection of any unilateral measures on the Blue Nile, where Ethiopia has built the disputed Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD).
They said such actions violate international law, with Al-Burhan stressing the alignment of the two countries’ positions and interests regarding the dam.
El-Sisi and Al-Burhan agreed to strengthen coordination and consultation to protect their shared water rights.
