BEIJING (AP) -- Sudan is appealing to longtime partner China for help in resolving a protracted dispute over oil revenues with newly independent South Sudan.
Sudanese Foreign Minister Ali Ahmed Karti said Tuesday that during his two-day stay in Beijing he delivered a letter from his president to Chinese President Hu Jintao and met with executives from state-run China National Petroleum Corp. He says he offered Sudan's continuing support for China and its investment in Sudan — something he said South Sudan is trying to disrupt.
South Sudan became independent in July. It stopped pumping oil to pipelines that run through Sudan in January after Sudan said it would keep some of the oil as an in kind transit fee.
