President Abdel Fattah El Sisi has arrived in Sudan on a six-hour visit. It's expected that the Egyptian president will discuss a number of common files, most notably the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD).

Sudanese Foreign Minister Maryam Al-Sadiq Al-Mahdi said earlier that the visit will discuss bilateral relations between Cairo and Khartoum and ways to develop them, common files, and regional and international issues of common interest.

The visit comes amid a major diplomatic and military movement between the two countries, following a significant visit last week by Al-Mahdi to Cairo where she met with Sisi, Foreign Minister Sameh Shourky and Mohamed Farid, Chief of Staff of the Egyptian Armed Forces.
