Bashir is expected to discuss bilateral ties, efforts to achieve peace and rebuild Sudan during his tour. In Kuwait, he is scheduled to hold talks with Emir Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmed al-Sabah and in Qatar he is set to meet with Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, reported the Sudan News Agency (SUNA).
