”Both parties expressed their strong commitment to promoting stronger bilateral and multilateral cooperation ahead”, a statement reads after the meeting.
South Sudan is reported to have offered Israel ”new opportunities in the oil and gas industry”, as part of efforts to attract foreign investments.
Pre-speculations that the countries are in talks about relocating Palestinians from Gaza to South Sudan, which would mean a move from one war-torn country to another, have not been further commented on.
Earlier on Wednesday, South Sudan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs dismissed the news agency AP's article and source information.
”These claims are baseless and do not reflect the government's official position or policy”, it says in a government statement according to Sudan Tribune.
The source information came after Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he wants to realize US President Donald Trump's vision of relocating a large part of Gaza's population through what Netanyahu calls ”voluntary migration”.
Palestinians, human rights groups and large parts of the international community have rejected the proposal to relocate Palestinians and say it goes against international law.
