The message was handed over by South Sudanese Presidential Adviser on Security Affairs Tut Kew Gatluak who met with al-Bashir on Thursday night.
Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Gatluak stressed the support of South Sudanese leadership and people to Sudan to overcome the ongoing challenges.
He expressed the gratitude and appreciation of the people of South Sudan for the "great positions" of President al-Bashir towards their country including the recognition of independence and his efforts to achieve peace and reconciliation between the South Sudanese parties.
He further said South Sudanese oil will contribute significantly to strengthening the economy and the development of the two countries.
