Sudan says ambassador to Cairo to return 'very soon'
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Sudan's foreign minister says the country's ambassador to Cairo will return to Egypt "very soon."
Ibrahim Ghandour spoke Thursday, more than a month after Sudan recalled its ambassador to Egypt for consultation, at the time signaling deteriorating relations.
Ghandour's statements were made during a news conference in Cairo with Egyptian counterpart Sameh Shoukry. Both stressed strong ties between the two countries.

Cairo's ties with Khartoum have been tense over Sudan's revival of a longstanding border dispute. Egypt and Sudan have been also at odds over Khartoum's perceived support for the construction of a massive Nile dam in Ethiopia that Cairo fears will reduce its vital water share.
