KHARTOUM -- Sudan and the Central African Republic agreed on Wednesday to
make joint efforts to maintain the security of their borders, which have
witnessed repeated cross- border attacks by rebels and other armed groups
since years.
Visiting President of the Central Africa Francois Bozize and Sudanese
Minister of Defense Abdul-Rahim Mohammed Hussein inked the agreement
during their talks.
Hussein told reporters at the end of the meeting that "we have agreed to
reactivate the agreements signed between the two countries regarding the
security of the borders and the military cooperation between their armed
forces."
"The view points of the two sides on the issues raised in the meeting are
identical," the Sudanese minister noted, adding that the president of the
Central Africa expressed "a strong keenness" on maintaining border
security.
The two sides discussed bilateral relations and an agreement signed
between the two countries in 2004 regarding border security and another
one signed by Sudan, the Central Africa and Chad in 2005 on the
establishment of a joint force to patrol the borders between the three
countries, according to Hussein.
He disclosed that the meeting also dealt with the military cooperation
between the two African countries' armed forces in the fields of training
and habilitation.
The Central African president arrived in Khartoum Tuesday on a two-day
official visit to Sudan, his first visit to Sudan since taking office in
June 2005.
