The two officials discussed ongoing coordination between Egypt and Pakistan, highlighting their aligned positions on major international issues of shared concern. Abdelaty stressed Egypt's commitment to further enhancing bilateral consultations through existing mechanisms, particularly the Joint Ministerial Committee co-chaired by both foreign ministers, and continuing cooperation within multilateral frameworks. Abdelaty also expressed Egypt's hopes that Pakistan, during its current presidency of the UN Security Council, would advocate for pressing regional priorities.

On the economic front, both sides explored opportunities to expand bilateral trade and investment.

Russia extends an olive branch to Sudan as it hands over two geological atlases
During recent Joint Ministerial Committee meetings Sudan and Russia, two comprehensive geological atlases and technical papers were officially handed over to Sudan's Minerals Ministry. Sudan has received two geological atlases from Russia aimed to replace lost mining data and aid the country's mineral sector recovery. Dr. Hind Siddiq, Sudan's Mineral Resources Undersecretary, initiated the exchange during the Kazan Economic Forum. Russia has pledged both physical and digital versions of the reports and explored mining investment potentials, particularly in chromium and manganese. These records replace critical mining data lost during Sudan's continuing conflict, representing an important step toward rebuilding the country's mineral sector. Dr. Hind Siddiq, Sudan's Mineral Resources Undersecretary, requested the data transfer during the Kazan Economic Forum, and it was launched. Recognizing Sudan's urgent need, Russia swiftly delivered physical copies of the reports and promised to supply digital versions soon. Russia reviewed investment potential in Sudan's mining industry, particularly in the chromium and manganese sectors, as reported by the Sudan News Agency. The Sudanese Ministry of Minerals delegation recommended that the Russian side submit recommendations for technical analysis and subsequent debate during the Joint Ministerial Committee's eighth session, which is slated for next June. Sudan's call for Russian integration Sudan's Ministry of Minerals underlined at the forum that economic integration is no longer an option, but rather a necessity in today's interconnected globe. The Ministry emphasized the significance of sharing resources, expertise, and technology in promoting mutual development and stability between Sudan and Russia. Dr. Siddiq, who led Sudan's team to the Kazan Forum, emphasized the importance of true relationships based on trust, shared goals, and equitable development. The Kazan Forum, officially titled 'Russia – Islamic World: KazanForum,' has been held annually and gained federal recognition in 2022 by presidential decree. At the event, the Ministry of Minerals' undersecretary emphasized that such cooperation might help Sudan achieve a more peaceful and prosperous future. She also noted that the mining industry is one of Sudan's most important economic pillars, providing chances for foreign investment and the use of cutting-edge mineral exploration and extraction technologies. Russia and Sudan's mining history Dr. Siddiq also traced Sudan's lengthy history of mining partnership with Russia back to the 1970s. At the time, collaborative activities centered on geological, geochemical, and geophysical mapping, notably in the Red Sea region. The relationship developed dramatically during the Sudanese-Russian Joint Ministerial Committee, which was established in 2013. Several cooperation endeavors arose during the course of seven meetings, the most notable of which was the Sudan metallurgical map at a scale of 1:1,000,000. This ambitious initiative, a collaboration between Sudan's Geological Research Corporation and Russia's RoseGeo, seeks to map Sudan's abundant mineral resources.

Sudan's foreign minister to start Moscow visit
February 9, 2025 (PORT SUDAN) – Sudanese Foreign Minister Ali Youssif will begin an official visit to Moscow on Monday at the invitation of his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov. Sudan is encouraging Russian companies to invest in its gold, oil, gas, and electricity sectors. Relations between the two countries are strengthening amid Moscow's support for the Sudanese government. 'Foreign Minister Ali Youssif will begin a three-day official visit to Moscow tomorrow, Monday, at the invitation of Sergei Lavrov,' Mohamed al-Ghazali, Sudan's ambassador to Russia, told reporters. He said Youssif will hold official talks with Lavrov to discuss supporting and developing bilateral political, economic, and cultural relations. He added that regional and international issues of mutual concern would also be discussed. Al-Ghazali stated that the Sudanese foreign minister would meet with the Russian head of the Joint Ministerial Committee, Minister of Natural Resources Alexander Kozlov, and Russian officials and members of the Duma (parliament). He noted that Youssif will brief Russian officials and media outlets on developments in Sudan, highlighting recent military gains, and discuss bilateral relations and ways to strengthen them. Press reports indicate that Russia has provided the Sudanese army with advanced weaponry, which, along with military support from Iran, has enabled significant battlefield advances, including regaining control of areas in Sennar, Al-Jazirah, and large parts of Khartoum and Um Ruwaba in North Kordofan. Russia has sought to establish a naval base on Sudan's Red Sea coast, but the move remains stalled.
