Kirsan Ilyumzhinov meets with Onur Ahmed Onur, Deputy Head of Mission of the Embassy of the Republic of Sudan in the Russia

On June 4, Moscow hosted a meeting of the first President of Kalmykia, sixth President of FIDE Kirsan Ilyumzhinov with the Deputy Head of Mission of the Embassy of the Republic of Sudan in Russia Onur Ahmed Onur. The parties discussed implementation of joint economic and humanitarian projects and an agenda for Ilyumzhinov's upcoming working visit to Sudan.

The parties noted broad opportunities for comprehensive and mutually beneficial cooperation, including economic and humanitarian projects.
Sudan is traditionally an important market for Russian companies. Back in 2019, Mr Onur Ahmed Onur said that Russia should be present in Africa as one of the superpowers: “Today, many countries are working in Sudan, but Russia, a powerful large country, is poorly represented there, although we greatly respect your working methods and we want to jointly develop not only business, but also educational projects and developing humanitarian ties."

The Deputy Head of Mission of the Embassy of the Republic of Sudan in the Russian Federation clarified that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a strong impact on the African state. Because of it, several important meetings at the political, economic and commercial levels had to be postponed. The government of Sudan is making every effort to implement them as soon as possible.
Recall that on January 5, 2021, Russia and Sudan celebrated the 65th anniversary of the diplomatic relations.
