The Sudanese president Omar Hassan El Béchir on Monday arrived in Nouakchott to a warm welcome for a three-day visit.
The Sudanese president rode next to his host Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz from Nouakchott international airport to the presidential palace.
Several Mauritanian political parties have denounced the decision of the International Criminal Court (ICC) to issue an arrest warrant against the Sudanese president for 'war crimes and crimes against humanity' perpetrated in Darfur province in Sudan where an interminable ethnic conflict prevails.
The visit comes at the time when Nouakchott is hosting the second session of the Big Joint Cooperation Commission between the two countries.
The economic partnership between the two countries is symbolised by the presence of Sudanese private telecommunications company, Chinguitel, in the Mauritanian market.
This is the first time a foreign president has visited Mauritania since president Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz was elected on 18 July.
