Sudan's foreign minister says Sudan has not taken any significant steps to normalise relations with Israel since April when its cabinet repealed a decades-long boycott of the country, Mariam Sadiq al-Mahdi says there's not any sign of normalisation with Israel and there are no talks at any official level adding that abolishing a law on boycotting Israel does not mean that they will consider opening an Israeli embassy in Khartoum.She added that improving relations with Israel was necessary to improve relations with the US and said it was tied to support for Sudan joining the World Trade Organization after nearly two decades of failed attempts.
