Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir is to travel to Cairo on Tuesday, state media reported, marking the first visit to post-Mubarak Egypt by an Arab leader and one by the only head of state wanted by the International Criminal Court.

"President Omar al-Bashir will begin an official visit to the Arab Republic of Egypt on Tuesday, where he will meet Field Marshal Mohammed Hussein Tantawi, the head of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces and senior Egyptian officials," SUNA said in a statement.

The Sudanese news agency said the visit confirmed Sudan's "support for the Egyptian people at this historical juncture... and reflects the strong ties that bind the two countries."
