22 September 2021

Khartoum is grateful to the Russian leadership for the decision to meet the republic's wishes in the matter of its debt discharge to Moscow and counts on further support, Sudan's deputy foreign minister Mohammad Sharif said at an online conference on Wednesday.


According to the deputy minister, the country is facing an acute debt problem that "makes it difficult to move toward economic transformation" and is counting on a series of agreements to write off some of it.


"This problem continues [on the agenda]. We have debts to other countries. But we would like to thank the Russian leadership for the fact that Russia has met us halfway on this issue. And we hope that this support will continue," he said.


Sharif pointed out that the country is engaged in an active dialogue on economic issues with the World bank, the International monetary fund and a number of international sponsoring organizations. "Although we are moving quite slowly on some issues, the movement as a whole is continuing. We hope we will succeed," he added.
