Sudan and Iran have re-exchanged ambassadors, after an eight-year break, following the agreement reached last October.
Lieutenant General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, commander of the Sudanese army and acting government, received the credentials of the new Iranian ambassador, Hassan Shah Hosseini, in the city of Port Sudan, which charts the features of a new phase in relations between the two countries.
On the other hand, Sudan sent its ambassador to Tehran, in a move that reflects the mutual desire to overcome previous differences and build strategic alliances, especially in light of the current circumstances that Sudan is going through and the need for support in facing the challenges of internal stability and security.
It is noteworthy that Sudan ended its relations with Iran in January 2016 during the era of Omar al-Bashir (1989-2019), in response to an attack by protesters on the Saudi embassy in Tehran and its consulate in the city of Mashhad in the east of the country, after Saudi Arabia executed the Shiite leader Nimr al-Nimr and others on charges related to terrorism.
Before they broke off, relations between Khartoum and Tehran were strong, as Iran was considered one of Sudan’s main supporters in the military field since the 1990s, including cooperative agreements in this field.
