Egypt, S. Sudan to enhance cooperation in the fields of investment, electricity, water, health, education. – James Wani Igga

Egypt-South Sudan ties have reached a new high, South Sudan’s Vice President James Wani Igga told Extra News on Saturday.

He said that his country has committed to expand collaboration with President Abdel Fattah El Sisi in the areas of investment, power, water, health, and education.

“We are open to commercial cooperation with Egypt in a variety of areas,” he added, adding that an annual international exhibition for Egyptian products will be held in Juba.

On July 27, 2021, Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouli reaffirmed Egypt’s unwavering support for South Sudan’s efforts to establish peace throughout the nation, build on the Revitalized Peace Agreement’s achievements, and carry out the agreement’s transitional period terms.

Madbouli made the statements during a joint news conference with South Sudan’s Vice President James Wani Igga in Cairo following the conclusion of the Egyptian-South Sudanese upper committee’s first session discussions, which were attended by both sides’ high-level ministerial delegations.
