DDIS ABABA (Reuters) - Sudan's President Omar Hassan al-Bashir will hold a summit with his counterpart from South Sudan, Salva Kiir, in Ethiopia on Sunday to wrap up two weeks of talks to end hostilities between the African neighbours, state media said on Tuesday. Diplomats had earlier said the former civil war foes Sudan and South Sudan were coming close at talks in Addis Ababa to a border security deal that would allow the resumption of oil exports vital to the economies of both countries. South Sudan seceded from Sudan last year under a 2005 peace deal that ended decades of civil war but the two have yet to resolve a litany of issues related to partition. Border clashes almost boiled over into full-scale war in April, although tensions have abated since then. Bashir had agreed to accept an invitation from Ethiopia to hold a summit with Kiir in Addis Ababa on September 23, SUNA said. It gave no details. South Sudan's chief negotiator, Pagan Amum, told Reuters he needed to confirm the summit date with the government in Juba but added he was optimistic that the meeting would take place. The summit news came after a Western official said both nations had made much progress towards a broader framework agreement to end hostilities, as demanded by the U.N. Security Council by September 22. "We appreciate the strong efforts the parties have made towards the outstanding issues and we are confident that they will reach an agreement before the end of the deadline," said Endre Stiansen, Norway's Special Envoy for Sudan and South Sudan. "And the summit is necessary to close this deal," he told Reuters on the sidelines of the talks. Norway is a mediator in the talks because it advises both nations on oil issues and is respected as a neutral party. "We've come a long way. There are still issues that need to be solved but it's doable.
