Sudan’s President Omar al-Bashir said a visit from Chad’s President Idriss Deby had "put an end to all the problems" between the countries.
Mr Deby urged Chad’s rebels, based in Sudan, to lay down their arms.
In the past Sudan and Chad have accused each other of sponsoring each other’s rebel movements. After two days of talks, neither side made firm commitments to expel the rebels using their country as a base to attack their neighbor.
Addressing a gathering of Sudanese politicians and representatives of the Chadian community in Sudan, and with Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir standing beside him, the Chadian president noted that "the Darfur crisis can not be resolved through military ways, and I urgently call on the armed men in Darfur to stop the hostilities".
Deby also asked the Sudanese government to exercise "sufficient flexibility" in the peace negotiations. saying that "the Doha track, which is supported by Chad without any reservation, is the most suitable choice for realizing peace in the region."
‘Common battle’
There have been many agreements between Chad and Sudan in recent years.
The BBC correspondent James Copnall in Khartoum says these negotiations between the two presidents give some grounds for optimism, even if there is still much mistrust between the two sides. President Bashir said: "Deby and I are here to confirm to the Sudanese-Chadian people that we have turned the page of our differences and disputes between the two states.
