What happened
A meeting chaired by Abdel Fattah al-Burhan addressed financial and investment arrangements between Sudan and Saudi Arabia, utilizing the Supreme Council for Strategic Cooperation and Coordination. The meeting established a technical committee, involving the National Border Commission and the navy, to review maps and draft a maritime delimitation plan. Furthermore, maritime surveillance centers were approved for development in coordination with the ports of Jeddah and Yanbu.
Why it matters
The talks are focused on settling the maritime boundary between Sudan and Saudi Arabia, which has been undelimited for nearly half a century. The progress in this area could impact maritime resource claims and security within the Red Sea. The outcomes are likely to concern Egypt, which borders Sudan and shares the Red Sea with both countries.
Protracted conflict in Sudan is underway, threatening regional stability and requiring increased influence from the United States to push regional powers.
