US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is slated to visit Sudan on Wednesday to discuss potential normalization between the African state and Israel, the Sudan News Agency reported.
"The purpose of the US secretary of state's visit to Sudan is to encourage the transition to democratic rule and discuss relations with Israel," the report said.
It is believed that Khartoum is interested in striking a peace deal with Jerusalem in order to be removed from the list of countries that the US designates as state-sponsors of terrorism.
