By: Ambassador Osman Ahmed Abdul Bari,
Ambassador of the Republic of the Sudan to Eritrea
The Relations between the Republic of the Sudan and the State of Eritrea represent an advanced model of bilateral relations in the Horn of Africa and the Red Sea regions. Their roots run deep in history, and their dimensions intersect politically, securely, economically, and socially, making them strategic relations based on mutual trust, good neighborliness, and a set of intertwined interests and a shared destiny. The geographical borders between Sudan and Eritrea have never constituted a real barrier between the two peoples; rather, they have served as a bridge for human connection and cultural and social interaction.
