Sudan’s TASIS-backed Peace Government is seeking to expand economic and diplomatic cooperation with West African countries following an official delegation’s visit to Togo.
Prime Minister Mohamed Hassan al-Ta’aishi received a report on the mission during a meeting with Trade Minister Mohamed Ismail Abdullah Arkan in Nyala, according to Sudanese media reports published Wednesday.
The report outlined opportunities to strengthen diplomatic relations, expand commercial partnerships and develop investment and banking cooperation with Togo and neighbouring West African markets.
The delegation, which completed a four-day visit in October, was headed by Arkan and included Transitional Currency Council Chairman Hamed Jibril Hamed and Foreign Ministry envoy Yaqoub Noreen.
During the visit, officials held discussions with senior Togolese government representatives on potential economic partnerships, trade development and financial cooperation.
The delegation also toured key infrastructure facilities, including the Port of Lomé, industrial complexes and free trade zones, to assess opportunities for commercial exchange and investment.
Al-Ta’aishi welcomed the delegation’s findings and recommendations, reaffirming his government’s commitment to developing economic and diplomatic relations with West African countries.
The initiative forms part of a broader TASIS effort to expand its regional engagement and establish economic partnerships beyond Sudan’s borders.
The Nyala-based administration has increasingly pursued diplomatic contacts with African governments as it works to develop its political and economic institutions.
The latest outreach signals an effort to strengthen regional commercial links and explore alternative trade opportunities as Sudan’s prolonged conflict continues to disrupt traditional economic networks.
No formal trade agreements or financial commitments were announced following the delegation’s report.
