US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is to visit Sudan in the coming days, a Sudanese government official said on Sunday.
Sudan has been normalising relations with the United States since the overthrow of former leader Omar al-Bashir in April 2019 but is still seeking removal from a list of countries the U.S. considers as state sponsors of terrorism.
The Sudanese official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, declined to give details of Pompeo's visit. The listing dates to 1993 and makes Sudan, struggling with a deep economic crisis, technically ineligible for debt relief and financing from international lenders.
