Turkish spy chief Hakan Fidan on Monday discussed intelligence sharing and other issues of common interest with Sudanese military leaders in Khartoum, state-broadcaster Sudan TV reported.

Mr Fidan separately met the head of Sudan's ruling Sovereign Council Lt Gen Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and his deputy, Lt General Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo (Hemeti).

Mr Fidan conveyed his country's support for the framework agreement the military leaders signed with some pro-democracy groups on 5 December.

Turkey was among members of the international community that backed the deal, which was meant to pave the way for the return of civilian rule in Sudan.

However, pro-military and Islamist groups have opposed the deal.
