KHARTOUM, Aug. 27 (Xinhua) -- Chairman of the Presidential Council of Libya's Government of National Accord Fayez al-Sarraj on Sunday arrived in Khartoum on a one-day visit to Sudan.
Al-Sarraj was received upon arrival at Khartoum airport by Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir and a number of government officials.
"This is a very important visit. Sudan and Libya have historical relations and bonds," Sudan's Foreign Minister Ibrahim Ghandour told reporters.
He reiterated Sudan's support for Libya's stability, saying "Sudan is concerned with Libya's security and safety together with unity of its rivals."
He said the talks between al-Sarraj and the Sudanese government officials would review many issues, top of them realization of security and stability in Libya and the issue of the Sudanese armed groups which receive support and protection in Libya.
"There are Sudanese armed movements from the Darfur region that have entered Libya with few military equipment after they were defeated in Darfur, and these movements are sheltering in some areas outside the control of the Libyan government and international legitimacy, and working to undermine Sudan's security and stability," said Ghandour.
Khartoum said Commander of the Libyan forces, backed by the House of Representatives in Tobruk, Khalifa Haftar, is recruiting armed groups from Sudan's Darfur region in his war against other Libyan groups.
