DIS's own post of 4 Sep 2024 names the counterpart as 'CHINA ENERGY International Group', 'specialised in energy and in building ports and airports', and quotes the group's head giving the value of the agreements as US$30 million. A post on Burhan's page the same day says the agreements were between DIS's 'Energy and Mining Group' and 'CHINA ENERGY companies specialised in building nuclear energy and constructing ports and airports', signed for Sudan by the manager of the National Company for Energy and Engineering, and that they cover 'the use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes' and rehabilitating Sudan's sea ports.
