Sudanese Sovereign Council Member and spokesman Mohamed al-Faki announced on Saturday that an Israeli delegation had visited Sudan last week, according to the Sky News website.

In press statements, al-Faki said that the visit "was of a purely military nature, not a political one."

He also added that the Israeli delegation met a number of military senior figures in Sudan, and inspected the Defense industries system.

Moreover, the Sudanese official added that the meeting "discussed specific aspects that cannot be revealed at the present time."

It is worth mentioning that, on 23 October, the leaders of the United States, Israel, and Sudan announced in a joint statement that Khartoum and Tel Aviv had reached an agreement to normalize relations between them.

The statement added that the concluded agreement provides for the establishment of economic and commercial relations between Israel and Sudan, with an initial focus on agriculture.

Sudan is the fifth Arab country to sign an agreement to normalize relations with Israel, following Abu Dhabi and Manama in mid-September.

In 1994, Jordan signed a peace agreement with Israel, and in 1979 Egypt did.
