The World : Sudan, Libya Improve Ties

Sudan’s new military rulers and the Libyan government agreed to normalize relations, which were strained before the Sudanese military seized power earlier this month. Tripoli radio, monitored by the British Broadcasting Corp., said the agreement provides for an exchange of visits, increased cooperation in all fields and regular, direct air flights between the two countries. The Kuwaiti newspaper Al Watan, meanwhile, reported that Libya has offered Sudan billions of dollars if the new regime will sever ties with Washington.
