Sheikh Mohamed and Al-Bashir discussed the distinguished fraternal ties between the two sides and their co-operation in various political, economic and development sectors as well as ways to bolster them to wider prospects.

They tackled the overall international and regional developments and the challenges in the region, especially extremism, terrorism and regional interferences that destabilize security and stability and undermine development.
