He condemned again the recent "horrifying atrocities and grave violations" in El Fasher, capital of Sudan's North Darfur State, read the statement.
Concerning the humanitarian crisis in Sudan, Badr urged establishing an effective humanitarian pathway together with increasing relief support and deepening cooperation with the UN, the African Union, and various relief agencies, read the statement.
He also called for unifying efforts to back a comprehensive ceasefire and pave the way for an inclusive political process in Sudan, which meets the Sudanese people's aspirations for security, stability, and development, read the statement.
There has been no information given as to what Salim said in the conversation.
On October 26, Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) said it had captured the headquarters of the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) in the besieged city of El Fasher - a major turning point in Sudan's two-and-a-half-year civil war that has intensified fears of a worsening humanitarian crisis.
Sudanese officials later said over 2,000 civilians had been killed by RSF forces since they seized control of the city, a claim the RSF had denied.
On October 30, the UN Security Council condemned the RSF's assault on El Fasher and "its devastating impact on the civilian population". It also denounced "reported atrocities perpetrated by the RSF," including summary executions and arbitrary detentions.
