Ambassador Khaled Ibrahim Al-Sheikh
Acting Ambassador of Sudan to Tehran affirmed the importance of activating diplomatic and economic relations between Sudan and the Islamic Republic of Iran, particularly after Sudan restored its diplomatic relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran and reopened the Sudanese embassy in Tehran.
He said in a statement to “Sudan Events ” that Iranian companies have extensive and accumulated experience in the fields of building roads, bridges and airports, and with this experience they can enter the competition arena in the reconstruction race in Sudan.
He added that since Sudan has adopted partnerships as an approach to dealing and interacting with countries, so that giant companies with high experience come and build a large project in Sudan, then operate and manage it, and in the end, after extracting their rights and what they paid to build the project and achieve appropriate profits, they transfer ownership of the project to the Sudanese government in what is known as build, operate and transfer, abbreviated as the BOT system.

On the other hand, Ambassador Khaled praised the message of the Businessmen and Women Club as a national economic institution and a forum that includes businessmen and said that their goal is not only profit and the growth of their trade and businesses, but also extending a helping hand to those who need assistance, rescue and relief in light of political circumstances, various natural crises and disasters that occur suddenly without warning. Pointing to the great role played by businessmen during the Corona pandemic, in addition to providing relief to those stranded in the Arab Republic of Egypt and other countries during the war and helping to arrange their conditions during the closure period, and after opening the borders and ports and allowing entry into Sudan, they contributed strongly to the deportation of those stranded by land and air. He stressed the Sudanese diplomatic support for the Businessmen and Women Club and everyone who cares about the interest of Sudan and desires to raise it and its people. Especially since Sudan, with its potential and natural, mineral and human resources, can be a country that is pointed to in terms of products, industries and resources. He revealed the efforts of the Sudanese embassy in Tehran in coordinating and arranging to strengthen economic relations with Iran, and said that Iran, with its resources and position in the world, can be a destination for businessmen and women to establish a profitable economic partnership that contributes to developing bilateral relations between Sudan and Iran.
