Also, the Sudanese official said a Polish-Sudanese economic forum will be held with businessmen from both countries to develop economic, trade and investment relations.

For his part, the Polish top diplomat described his country’s relations with Sudan as “strong and deep”, saying these relations have lasted for over 50 years.
