Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, on Wednesday, said that Russia is prepared to work alongside international partners to help restore stability in Sudan.
Lavrov, during a meeting with Sudanese Foreign Minister Ali Yusuf Al-Sharif said “as true friends, we are deeply concerned about the dramatic events unfolding in Sudan. We are ready to join other external players in supporting efforts to normalise the situation.’’
Lavrov also said that the full resumption of bilateral cooperation depends on security conditions in Sudan.
The Sudanese counterpart noted that his country values Moscow’s solidarity during “a serious war between the (Sudanese) army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).”
The Sudanese minister arrived in Russia for a three-day official visit.
The Sudanese regular army and the rebel RSF have been fighting for control of the country since April 2023.
The International Committee of the Red Cross said the ongoing hostilities in the country could lead to disease outbreaks and a fatal collapse of the healthcare system.
Sudan’s Ambassador to Russia Mohamed Siraj in an interview with RIA Novosti in early January expressed hope that the armed conflict would end in 2025.
