Uganda and Sudan will today hold a bilateral meeting to discuss the proposed construction of a railway line between the two states.
A statement from the Uganda National Roads Authority issued yesterday said the meeting is to review the Uganda-Sudan joint ministerial commission provisions relating to transport and communication.
The meeting will look into ongoing or planned road and railway projects linking both countries.The railway is expected to go through Pakwach, Gulu, Juba to Wa.
Uganda's head of the consulate in Juba, Habib Migadde, said: "We are making arrangements in that direction but the line has not taken off. It is overdue,"
The Sudanese delegation will be led by the minister for transport, roads and bridges, Brig. Gen. Phillip Fhon Leek Deng. It will include a minister from the Government of South Sudan, Eng. Amza Mohammed, the director general of the Sudan Railways Corporation and Eng. Hamid Mahmud, the director general of Sudan National Highway Authority.
A few years ago, Sudan resumed direct flights from Juba to Entebbe Airport.
