1956

A file of correspondence and reports on relations between East Germany and the Sudan.

Further correspondence includes the response to a message sent to the Sudanese government from their East German counterparts on achieving independence; and discussions on the development of East German commercial relations with both the Sudan and Egypt. The file also includes a report on the visit of Ibrahim el Mufti, the Sudanese deputy premier and Minister of Trade, Industry, and Supply, to East Berlin, where an agreement was reached that relations should be further strengthened and developed.
