Oct 20, 2006 (KAMPALA) — Southern Sudan is mobilising support to get its own international gateway and communication code.
Barnabas Benjamin Malial, the minister for regional cooperation, said this while meeting foreign affairs minister Sam Kutesa in Kampala.
Malial said the telecommunication issue was sovereign and had to be solved soon.
He asked Uganda to support Southern Sudan’s application at the International telecommunications Union conference to take place in Turkey between November 4 and 22.
A statement said Kutesa reiterated the need to formalise relations between Uganda and Southern Sudan through a joint permanent commission.
He said this would address the need for bilateral agreements in trade, education, agriculture and environment.
Kutesa said the existing crossborder trade should be formalised to enable countries collect revenue.
