Sudan’s Transitional Sovereign Council President, Lt. General Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, and Libya’s Prime Minister Abdul Hameed Dbeibah held bilateral talks on Friday, reaffirming their commitment to deeper cooperation and regional peace.
The meeting, held on the margins of the 2025 Antalya Diplomatic Forum in Türkiye, focused on expanding collaboration between the two neighbouring countries across political, economic, and security spheres.
According to officials present, both leaders agreed on the need for closer coordination in addressing shared regional challenges and expressed mutual support for efforts to stabilize Sudan, which continues to grapple with internal unrest and political uncertainty.
“The discussions underlined the urgency of a unified regional approach to peacebuilding,” a senior Sudanese delegate told reporters following the meeting. “Sudan and Libya recognize the strategic value of working together in this complex regional landscape.”
The talks also covered broader geopolitical developments, with both sides calling for the alignment of political positions on key regional issues and the strengthening of joint mechanisms for promoting peace and stability.
Accompanying Al-Burhan were top Sudanese security and diplomatic officials, including Lt. General Ahmed Ibrahim Mufaddal, Director of the General Intelligence Service, Lt. General Mirghani Idris, head of the Defense Industries Organization, and Sudan’s Ambassador to Türkiye, Nader Youssef.
The Antalya Diplomatic Forum has become a crucial platform for dialogue among regional leaders, and this latest meeting is seen as a step forward in Sudan and Libya’s bid to reinforce cross-border collaboration at a time of heightened uncertainty across North and East Africa.
