He confirmed there is initial consensus on restoring technical engagement and gradually strengthening cooperation with Sudan.
The Minister of State commended the appreciation and cooperation expressed by international partners, noting that the coming phase will witness intensified efforts to rebuild the financial and economic system and enhance technical capacities — reinforcing reform efforts and steering the national economy back on the right track.
