al-Bashir hold a joint news briefing in the state house in capital
Juba January 6, 2014 (Reuters/ James Akena).
The spokesperson of the foreign ministry Abu Bakr Al-Sidiq said the
one-day visit comes in response to an invitation extended by president
Al-Bashir during his last visit to Juba in January.
Ambassador Sidiq added that Kiir's visit comes within the framework of
the continuous contacts between the leadership of the two countries to
enhance bilateral relations.
The two leaders are expected to approve the resumption of joint border
monitoring patrols and the implementation of the security
arrangements, and to discuss situation in Abyei.
Following the visit of Sudanese president Bashir to Juba last January,
the two capitals denied reports about the deployment of a joint force
to protect oil fields.
However, on 20 March South Sudanese defence minister Kuol Manyang
Juuk, discussed in Khartoum the activation of security mechanisms
agreed by the two countries since 27 September 2012.
