A high-level American business delegation reportedly is visiting Sudan to explore gold opportunities as junta leader General Abdel Fattah al Burhan and its former prime minister Abdallah Hamdok is set to meet in Egypt’s capital Cairo.
The American delegation’s arrival —with mining companies— in Port Sudan highlights Washington’s growing interest in the country’s vast mineral wealth.
Several US companies are reportedly seeking agreements to participate in gold extraction and distribution projects, viewing Sudan as a key frontier market once stability returns.
Their encounter is part of a broader initiative led by the international Quartet on Sudan, which includes the United States, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia.
The two sides are reportedly working toward a preliminary declaration of principles that could pave the way for a formal ceasefire.
The Trump administration, buoyed by its recent success in brokering a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Sharm el-Sheikh, is turning once more to Egypt as a diplomatic staging ground.
