Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>President Salva Kiir and his Central African Republic counterpart Faustin Archange Touadera have signed Memoranda of Understanding on security and visa waiver to allow free movement between the two countries.<\/p>\n

President Archange landed in Juba on Friday on his first visit to South Sudan since his election as President in 2016.<\/p>\n

According to sources in the South Sudan presidency, Archange and Kiir agreed to establish bilateral ties and \u201cdeepen diplomatic cooperation in areas of trade and investment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe signed a joint cooperation agreement between the two countries that will usher us into mutual cooperation in various areas of development as well as politics,\u201d Lumoro told state television SSBC.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also signed an MoU on exemption of visas in order to allow the people of the two countries to move freely and engage in trade and other livelihood activities.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMoU on security which requires now that the ministers of defense of the two countries will have to come together and draft a schedule for improving security between the two countries.\u201d<\/p>\n

On her part, Central African Republic\u2019s Minister of Foreign Affairs Sylvie Vale\u0301rie BAIPO TEMON said the two leaders have also signed a Memorandum of Understanding in areas of trade and security matrix along the borders.<\/p>\n

CAR is a landlocked country in Central Africa and is surrounded by six countries including Chad, Sudan, South Sudan, DR Congo, the Republic of Congo and Cameroon.<\/p>\n

Although blessed with vast natural resources, it is one of the poorest countries in the world and has been plagued by man-made disasters due to a protracted rebel and islamist insurgencies.<\/p>\n

In March 2023, President Archange told the UN Least Developed Countries meeting in Doha that his resource-rich but impoverished nation was being \u201clooted\u201d by \u201cWestern powers\u201d.<\/p>\n

Archange used his speech to lash out at sanctions imposed by the UN Security Council and other institutions against the huge but sparsely populated nation that has seen decades of instability.<\/p>\n

Touadera said the country\u2019s 5.5 million people could not understand how, with vast reserves of gold, diamonds, cobalt, oil and uranium, it \u201cremains, more than 60 years after independence, one of the poorest in the world\u201d.<\/p>\n
