\u201cWe received an invitation from the Egyptian Ministry of Defense to visit Egypt in the month of December to attend the military exhibition.<\/p>\n

\u201cI accepted the invitation and confirmed my readiness to attend the military exhibition. We also discussed issues of building the army\u2019s capabilities.<\/p>\n

In April 2022, the Egyptian government expressed its interest in sending experts to qualify the organized forces\u2019 capabilities in the country.<\/p>\n

These include the Prison Serves, Civil Defense Forces, and CID among others.<\/p>\n

In his remarks, the Egyptian Ambassador to South Sudan Mostafa Abdelkader said the relations between the two governments focus on military cooperation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also talked about the depth of the relations between the two countries and focused on topics such as capacity building as well as military cooperation between the two countries.\u201d<\/p>\n
