The official spokesman for the Egyptian Armed Forces, Tamer al-Refeai, announced on Saturday that Egyptian military units have arrived in Sudan to participate in joint military exercises.
Units from the Egyptian air force and commando forces arrived at the Marwa airbase in Sudan to participate in the “Nile Eagles – 1” training session, Refeai wrote on Facebook.
This training, the first between the two nearby nations, will continue until November 26 and is part of the joint training plan of the Egyptian Armed Forces with friendly countries.
Refeai explained that the training will witness many activities, such as the planning and management of joint combat actions between the Egyptian and Sudanese air forces.
The training will also include multi-role fighters from both sides conducting offensive and defensive sorties at training targets, he added, as well as training commando forces in combat search and rescue work.
It will also have theoretical and practical conferences that will contribute to the unification of concepts and the exchange of experiences between both parties.
The Chief of Staff of the Egyptian Armed Forces, Lieutenant General Mohamed Farid, met with Sudanese officials in Khartoum on November 3 to discuss ways to improve military and security cooperation between the two countries.
Both parties agreed to promote joint work in rehabilitation, training, border security, combating terrorism and military industries.
