DUBAI (Reuters) – Some 20,000 tonnes of wheat arrived on Sunday from Russia at Port Sudan, Sudan’s main trade hub, as part of a Russian grant for the east African country, state news agency SUNA said, citing a provincial official.
Russian state media Sputnik News reported in January that Russia was due to send a wheat shipment to Khartoum as humanitarian aid. The shipment from Moscow comes as Sudan’s ruling council seeks deeper ties with Russia.
