Diplomatic sources have stated that Washington will host a meeting of the Quartet group on Sudan this Wednesday.
Sources confirmed to “Al-Shorouk” that the meeting aims to establish a unified vision for resolving the crisis and denied any claims about expanding the Quartet.
According to the sources, the meeting will be attended by the foreign ministers of the United States, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. They added that recent reports suggesting an expansion of the Quartet to include Qatar and the United Kingdom are inaccurate. “Any expansion of the Quartet must first be subject to consultation among the current member states,” the sources noted.
The sources emphasized that the current goal of the Quartet is to avoid overcomplicating the situation by involving too many countries, and instead to limit participation to those directly concerned with the Sudanese crisis at this stage.
The meeting is expected to result in a joint statement outlining the shared vision of the four countries regarding the resolution of the Sudanese crisis—particularly with respect to achieving a ceasefire, initiating a political process to end the intense polarization among all parties, halting foreign interference, focusing on humanitarian needs, and ensuring the delivery of aid to affected areas. The statement will also reaffirm the unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of Sudan, and the preservation of its national institutions.
