A delegation of representatives from 40 Chinese private companies is slated to visit Sudan in late November, a Sudanese commerce chamber official said on Sunday.

The two sides will discuss cooperation and sign a series of agreements in the interests of both countries, said Abbas Ali Elsayed, Secretary-General of Sudanese Chambers of Industries Association, in a statement.

"Arrangements are ongoing to make successful a visit by the Chinese companies delegation to Khartoum," he said.

He said that representatives in the delegation come from sectors ranging from industry, agriculture, renewable energy, communications, transportation to exports and imports.

"We hope the visit would be a beginning for a real, serious and fruitful cooperation between the two sides," said the secretary general.
