South Sudan-Ethiopia relation remains cordial, says Government Spokesperson.
Michael Makuei Lueth says a report of breakdown in relations with Ethiopia is a creation of the social media.
The alleged breakdown of relation is linked to President Salva Kiir’s visit to Egypt and dubious deals against Ethiopia, he says.
Makuei announced on Friday the visit of President Kiir to Ethiopia on Saturday for the African Union summit.
He says Foreign Affairs Minister, Deng Alor Kuol, was already in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to prepare for President Kiir’s arrival.
South Sudan and Ethiopia last year signed a cooperation deal not to entertain cross-border insurgents for each other.
Media report indicates violation of the pact.
