I am honoured to be representing Canada in Sudan, a country with rich culture and traditions.

I hope you find our website useful in providing information on Canada’s relations with Sudan and Eritrea and as a gateway for learning more about the services we offer.

Canada established bilateral relations with the Government of the Republic of the Sudan in 1961. Canada’s strategic priorities in Sudan seek to advance human rights, the rule of law, and democracy; to reduce poverty and increase gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls; to address the emergency needs of crisis-affected populations, and to advance regional security and stability.

Canada provides international assistance in Sudan through development, humanitarian and peace and security programs. Guided by Canada’s Feminist International Assistance Policy and through the bilateral development program announced in 2020, Canada’s support focuses on improving access to education and strengthening the resilience of the poorest and most marginalized. Canada’s gender-responsive humanitarian assistance supports the provision of food, nutrition, health, shelter, water, sanitation and protection, as well as initiatives to meet the specific needs and priorities of women and girls including sexual health and reproductive rights. Canada’s peace and security funding supports women’s participation and the inclusion of gender perspectives in the political transition, and the monitoring and increased accountability for human rights violations, including against women and girls, and marginalized groups.

Canada does not currently have trade agreements in place with Sudan and it has a modest trade relationship with the country. Canadian exports to Sudan are mostly composed of farm, fishing and intermediate food products. Canadian direct investments in Sudan are mainly concentrated in the mining sector. Please note that the Canadian Trade Commissioner Service (TCS) offers services in Sudan and Eritrea, in collaboration with colleagues in Khartoum, through its offices at the Embassy of Canada in Ethiopia.

As for Eritrea, Canada established diplomatic relations shortly after Eritrea gained independence in 1993. Canada is represented in Eritrea through its Embassy based in Khartoum, Sudan, and an honorary consul in Asmara. Canada’s priorities in Eritrea seek to promote human rights, democracy and the rule of law, civil liberties, and freedom of the press and association, as well as regional security and stability. The commercial relationship with Eritrea is modest with limited exports and imports between the two countries. Most of the Canadian commercial relationship with Eritrea is centered on Canadian investment in the mining sector.

I strongly encourage Canadian citizens and residents working or visiting Sudan or Eritrea to keep abreast of  and to take a moment to register with the Embassy Consular Section using the .
