The Facts
In the latest sign of diplomatic rapprochement after an eight-year hiatus, Iran and Sudan exchanged ambassadors on Sunday following last year's agreement to resume diplomatic relations.
The Sudanese government announced that the country's de facto leader, army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, received Tehran's new ambassador, Hassan Shah Hosseini, in Port Sudan.
