A convoy of Turkish warships is due to arrive at Sudan's Red Sea coast on Tuesday, the Turkish embassy in Khartoum said on Sunday.

The convoy would arrive in Port Sudan seaport in eastern Sudan on Tuesday and leave on Thursday, the embassy added in a statement.

It noted that Turkish naval forces would conduct military exercises with their Sudanese counterparts during the visit.

The embassy said that the visit was part of a tour started three months ago by Turkish warship Büyükada (F-152), which included several Arab countries as well as Pakistan.

Last year, a convoy of Turkish warships docked off the coast of Sudan during a tour around the Cape of Good Hope. It was the first in nearly 150 years.

The tour aims at strengthening Turkey's relations with countries in the region, according to the embassy.

That's surprising, I didn't know Turkey had good relations with Sudan, considering that the Sudanese have always favored Iranian interests over Turkish interests.

Sudan has good relations with every Muslim country.

Sudan agrees to give landlocked Ethiopia stake in development, administration of Red Sea’s Port Sudan

Ethiopia and Sudan on Thursday reached an agreement allowing the former to maintain a stake in both the development and administration of Port Sudan on the Red Sea.

According to Ethiopia’s Fana Broadcasting Corporation, the agreement was struck during a two-day visit to Sudan by Ethiopia’s new prime minister, Abyi Ahmed.

Fana quoted Ethiopian Foreign Minister Workineh Gebeyehu as saying that Ahmed had agreed with Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir to expedite implementation of an earlier agreement on joint port development and administration.

It remains unclear, however, exactly how much stake Ethiopia will be allowed to hold in Port Sudan.

Ethiopia uses the port for some of its import/export activities, although the vast majority of the country’s trade currently relies on the Port of Djibouti.

Last month, Ethiopian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Meles Alem said Addis Ababa was exploring ways of using seaports in neighboring countries to keep pace with increasing trade activity.

Sudan and Ethiopia have also reportedly agreed to establish a free-trade regime along the two countries’ shared border, according to Fana.

Sudan has leased the Ottoman-era port city Suakin to Republic of Turkey agreed for 99 years which will also include a naval base.

This is inaccurate. Island will host a port, that could also be used to support Navy ships passing through.

There will not be any naval base in the Island, as of yet.
