Sudan andUkraine have haddiplomatic relations for several decades. Ukraine has a non resident ambassador inCairo.
Sudan recognized Ukrainian independence on 25 April 1992, establishing diplomatic relations soon after Ukrainian independence from theSoviet Union.[1]
In 2002, the first visit by a major Sudanese official to Ukraine took place, as the head of Sudan'sMinistry of Foreign Affairs visited. Another delegation visited in 2009 to develop agricultural cooperation.[1]
After the beginning of theRusso–Ukrainian War in whichRussia covertly invaded andoccupied parts of Ukraine, Sudan's delegation to theUN General Assembly "mainly took a pro-Russian position" from 2014 to 2020, voting against resolutions affirming Ukraine's territorial integrity.[1] However, Sudan has supplied Ukraine with weapons after the beginning of the full-scaleRussian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. In turn, Ukraine has militarily assistedAbdel Fattah al-Burhan's government directly duringSudan's civil war that began in 2023 due to shared interests in combating Russia, which backs theRapid Support Forces in Sudan.[2] In August 2023, it was revealed that Ukraine planned to build a new embassy in Sudan, as part of a larger strategy of establishing better relations withAfrican countries.[3]
As of 2019, there were 332 Sudanese students studying abroad in Ukraine.[4]
The Embassy of Sudan, Ukraine was established in September 2013. There is also an Honorary Consulate of Ukraine in Khartoum, Sudan.[1]
