Turkey's Interior Minister on Saturday praised the relations between Turkey and Sudan.

During a press conference with his Sudanese counterpart in Khartoum, Suleyman Soylu said there is a "rooted brotherhood" between Turkey and Sudan.

"I believe that our relationship has advanced," he said.

Sudanese Interior Minister Ahmed Bilal Othman also praised the relations between the two countries.

Othman said that Sudan is ready to work with Turkey in every field.
