South Sudan and Sudan agree on further technical cooperation in oil sphere
12 January, 2014
Khartoum, (sudanow.info.sd )- Sudan and south Sudan have agreed on a number of technical issues that will boost continuation of oil flow from south Sudan through the Sudanese national territories, to the exporting points, but which at the same time allow maintenance of oil wells that ceased working due to recent development in oil areas in south Sudan.
The official Sudan News Agency SUNA on Sunday said Sudan’s Petroleum Minister, Makawi Mohamed Awad, received his South Sudanese counterpart, Stephen Dhieu Dau, who is currently on a two day visit to the Sudan heading a high level government delegation.
The agency quoted the Sudanese Minister, Makawi as stressing that his country was ready to help south Sudan in the technical domains and to form a technical team comprising the two sides to review joint technical issues of concern.
The Minister stressed that, according to the agency, the geographical separation of the two states does not mean rupture of their joint history or the end of the warm relations between the two countries “this warm relation is an impetus for petroleum cooperation in the interests of the two peoples.”
The Minister said the basis for this cooperation remains the joint agreements the two sides signed two years ago in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, under the supervision of the African Union. Makawi said oil cooperation will push the two countries to cooperate in other economic fields as well.
South Sudan's oil minister Stephen Dhieu Dau, has on his part, said his visit to the Sudan on top of a high level delegation, seeks to discuss technical cooperation and “coordination between the various oil companies” and at the same time how to make use of Sudan’s experience for resumption of oil pumping from the Unity oil fields, in South Sudan.
