Al-Burhan was accompanied on this visit by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ali Sadiq, and the Director of the General Intelligence Service, Ahmed Ibrahim Mufaddal.
According to the army, the leaders held talks on the path to enhance bilateral relations between Khartoum and Asmara.
"The discussions dealt with supporting the prospects for joint cooperation between the two countries, praising the positions of the Eritrean President in support of Sudan in regional and international forums," the statement said.
Sudanese Foreign Minister Ali Sadiq added that the talks focused on initiatives to resolve the Sudanese crisis and ways to bring them together to find peace and stability in the conflict-ridden country.
