Sudan to Link 340‑km Electricity Transmission line with Eritrea
During a three-day visit to Eritrea by Sudanese President Omar Al-Bashir, Sudan and Eritrea pledged cooperation on a number of economic and infrastructure developments, Sudan's foreign minister Ali Karti told reporters over the weekend.
The top Sudanese diplomat said the two sides discussed ways for opening the borders and turning them into crossing points for goods and passengers, noting that consultations with authorities of border states are underway.
He further said that discussions highlighted education and health sectors besides roads linking the two countries, adding that the two sides agreed to review a 150 kilometers (93 miles) road inside Eritrean territory which Asmara has already started to build.
Karti also said the Sudanese side committed to completing the a new 340‑km (211 miles) electricity transmission line connecting the two countries, stressing the construction of the project would begin soon after conclusion of the necessary studies are completed.
The 220‑kV interconnector, which has been described as a 'top priority' project by both governments, would link Kassala in Sudan to the Eritrean towns of Teseney, Barentu, Agordat and Keren and, when possible, to Asmara.
