ANTALYA, Turkey (Sputnik) - According to Sudanese Foreign Minister Ali Al-Sadiq Ali, the nation is anticipating high-level talks and a visit by Sudan's leadership to Russia in the near future.
Sudan's new parliament will consider the agreement with Russia on the creation of a nave base in the country after the elections, Sudanese Foreign Minister Ali Al-Sadiq Ali told Sputnik.

"We believe that a new parliament should be formed, which will consider the agreement and develop a recommendation for the government — a positive recommendation. We leave this issue to the parliament, which will be elected," Ali said on the sidelines of the Diplomatic Forum in Antalya.

In February, Russian Ambassador to Sudan Andrey Chernovol told Sputnik that the country has not yet been able to complete the procedure for ratifying the agreement on the establishment of a Russian navy base in Port Sudan on the Red Sea.
"We have no fundamental objections to the agreements reached under the previous government. This is an obligation of the state," Ali said on the sidelines of the Diplomatic Forum in Antalya.
