Sudan, Saudi Arabia to launch strategic cooperation council after Eid al-Adha
- 4 MAY 2026
The establishment of the High Council for Cooperation and Strategic Coordination was mutually agreed upon in March 2025 during a meeting between the Chairman of Sudan’s Sovereign Council, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, with the aim of institutionalizing bilateral ties.
Speaking at a farewell ceremony hosted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the outgoing Saudi Ambassador to Sudan, Ali bin Hassan Jaafar, Salem revealed that advanced logistical preparations are underway to convene the council’s foundational meeting immediately after the holiday recess, which begins this Wednesday.
Salem emphasized that relations between Khartoum and Riyadh have reached an advanced stage, describing the strategic council as the highest mechanism of bilateral cooperation between the two nations. Relations have grown significantly in recent years, with Riyadh consistently backing the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) as the recognized legitimate authority in the country.
The Foreign Minister commended Ambassador Jaafar for his substantial contributions and diplomatic efforts during his tenure in Sudan.
For his part, Ambassador Jaafar reiterated Saudi Arabia’s steadfast commitment to supporting Sudan’s security, stability, territorial integrity, and state institutions. He praised the resilience of the Sudanese people and the professionalism of its diplomatic corps under exceptionally challenging circumstances.
Jaafar’s departure marks the end of a pivotal decade-long deployment in Sudan. Assuming his post during the final years of Omar al-Bashir’s regime, the veteran diplomat witnessed major historical transitions, including the April 2019 popular uprising, subsequent civilian-military transitional negotiations, the October 2021 military coup, and the outbreak of the current conflict.
longside fellow Arab and Western diplomats—including representatives from the UAE, the United States, and the United Kingdom—Jaafar played an active mediation role in navigating Sudan’s political crises post-2019. Under his tenure, Riyadh also co-hosted the Jeddah ceasefire talks in May 2023, which served as the initial diplomatic track aimed at resolving the war.
The Saudi government has not yet announced a successor to fill the vacant ambassadorial post in Sudan.

What a mess this conflict is. Meaningless by large too.
It should serve as the ultimate warning and lesson for countries never to allow civil wars to occur. Nothing worse than civil wars.
