Omar al-Bashir, Sudan's president, has arrived in Beijing for talks with Hu Jintao, his Chinese counterpart.
He arrived in the early hours of Tuesday after a delay that the Sudanese foreign ministry attributed to a change in his flight plan.
Bashir's delayed arrival means his meeting with Hu, a signing ceremony, and meetings with secondary leaders such as Li Keqiang and Wu Bangguo will now take place on Wednesday
"During President Bashir's visit to China, both sides will discuss how to consolidate the traditional friendship between their two countries under new circumstances," Hong Lei, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman, was quoted as saying by the Xinhua news agency.
