China, Sudan pledge to boost military ties

China and Sudan have pledged further military cooperation. This compliments the already substantial political, economic and military cooperation between the two states.

Interestingly, Sudan has pledged to continue its support of the "one China" policy, which does not recognize Taiwan as a sovereign state.

China's defense minister, Liang Guanglie, stated that China and Sudan "always" support each other in international affairs. Clearly, that is a bold statement which aims at showing political solidarity between the two states.

The announcement of further stated cooperation between Sudan and China must heighten tension between South Sudan and Sudan.
