Egypt's President Mohamed Mursi will hold talks with his Sudanese counterpart, Omar al-Bashir, during his visit to Sudan's capital on Thursday.
The two presidents will attend a session for the Egyptian Sudanese joint business council after the council's recent reshuffle, a statement for the presidency on its Facebook page said.
