The visit of the team has been considered as an opportunity to take relations between the two cities to a higher level, he added.

Team leader Sudanese Defence Minister Abdul-Rahim Mohamed Hussein said that the two cities have cemented bilateral relations in various fields such as trade, business, investment, tax law and customs.
