Sudan, Russia to sign accord to develop nuclear power

Sudan will sign a “roadmap” with Russia to build nuclear power stations during a visit to Moscow by Khartoum’s electricity minister, state news agency SUNA said on Monday.

SUNA quoted a spokesman for the ministry as saying the two sides would sign several memorandums of understanding including the roadmap “to implement a plan to develop nuclear (power) stations”. It did not elaborate
