For his part, the Sudanese FM expressed his appreciation for Egypt's continued support of Sudan's sovereignty and security. He also aspired to enhance relations between the two nations.
On Monday, the Egyptian National Railways Authority announced that it will operate a designated train to facilitate the return of Sudanese nationals and their families to their homeland.
Egypt, a haven for refugees from neighbouring countries fleeing conflicts in recent years, currently accommodates the largest Sudanese refugee population, who have fled their country since the outbreak of intense conflict.
Since April 2023, Sudan has been embroiled in a devastating conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
The destructive war has plunged the nation into what the UN describes as the world's worst humanitarian crisis.
