Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ambassador Nader Zaki said the meeting addressed efforts to reach a comprehensive political settlement in Sudan, based on Sudanese ownership, that would preserve the country’s unity, sovereignty and national institutions.
The two sides also discussed the latest developments in the Libyan crisis and the importance of supporting a political process leading to a comprehensive settlement that safeguards Libya’s unity and stability to meet the aspirations of the Libyan people and preserve the country’s resources, said the spokesman.
The talks further covered developments in the Horn of Africa and joint efforts to de-escalate tensions, with both sides underscoring the importance of respecting the sovereignty of countries in the region and refraining from threatening the use of force, he added.
