The Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs made a significant announcement on Monday, declaring the resumption of diplomatic relations with Iran.
In a statement issued by the Sudanese Foreign Ministry, it was revealed that Khartoum and Tehran had agreed to restore diplomatic ties following high-level discussions between the governments of both nations over the past months.
The decision was driven by the mutual interests of the two countries.
The statement further highlighted the agreement reached between both parties to enhance and expand their cooperation in various fields, with a primary focus on advancing the interests of their respective peoples.
It also confirmed that the governments have agreed to take the necessary steps to reopen their respective embassies.
Sudan severed diplomatic relations with Iran in 2016, following the storming of the Saudi embassy in Tehran.
Last July, Iran and Sudan expressed their intentions to restore diplomatic relations, marking a significant turning point in their diplomatic history.
Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian met with his Sudanese counterpart, Ali Al-Sadig, for the first time in seven years, signifying the willingness of both nations to renew their diplomatic ties.
The decision to reestablish diplomatic relations between Sudan and Iran holds implications for the geopolitical landscape of the region.
It reflects a diplomatic shift that could have far-reaching consequences, as both nations seek to rekindle ties and explore opportunities for cooperation.
