KHARTOUM (SUDANOW) - The Higher Council for Environment, Urban and Rural Promotion (HCEURP) in Khartoum State has signed late Monday an agreement with the Saudi Arabian Sipco Company for building an incinerator for dangerous waste, Sudan News agency reported on Tuesday.
The project cost is 10 million US dollar.
