Russia's foreign minister met with Sudan's military rulers on Thursday, state media in Sudan reported, the final stop on Sergey Lavrov's tour of Africa.
The top Russian diplomat Africa trip has been seeking to strengthen ties and expand influence at a time when the West has sought to isolate Moscow with sanctions over Russia's war on Ukraine.
The meetings focused on improving co-operation between the two countries, the state SUNA news agency said, without providing details. Embroiled in a deepening economic crisis, Sudan's military rulers are in talks with some political forces in the African country to reinstate a civilian government after more than a year of military rule following the October 2021 military coup.
The coup derailed Sudan's short-lived, democratic transition that followed the removal of longtime autocratic President Omar al-Bashir in April 2019 amid a popular uprising against his Islamist-backed repressive rule.
