Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The governments of South Sudan and South Africa are discussing the waiver of visa requirements as part of a deal to boost bilateral ties between the two countries.<\/p>\n

Muorcol Marial, the spokesperson of the South Sudan foreign ministry confirmed to Radio Tamazuj on Tuesday that discussions are ongoing to mutually waive visas.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a proposal that the concerned institutions will first sit down and draft and then the authorities concerned will discuss and after they agree this is when a Memorandum of Understanding will be signed,\u201d he said. \u201cThe idea came out during the meeting that our Deputy Minister Ramadan Mohammed Abdallah Goc had with the charge\u0301 d\u2019affaires of the South Africa Embassy, Mr. Luvuyo Mato here in Juba.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is still an idea that needs to be developed,\u201d Marial added.<\/p>\n

According to the foreign ministry mouthpiece, visa waivers will help to ease movement and boost investment opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will help in many ways. It will ease the movement of the citizens between the two countries and also encourage investment,\u201d stated. \u201cI cannot give you a definite time because it is still under discussion. You know, it needs to be discussed and if the two governments are convinced, this will bring benefit for both countries and then the signing date will come out after that.\u201d<\/p>\n
