Foreign Minister Participates in the 18th Ministerial Meeting of Great Lakes Organization
Minister of Foreign Affairs Ambassador Dr. Ali Yousuf Ahmed Al-Sharif, participated in the 18th Ministerial Meeting of the Regional Ministerial Committee of the Great Lakes Organization, which was held on Sunday in the Angolan capital, Luanda, with the participation of the Foreign Ministers of the Great Lakes Organization.
The Minister delivered a speech at the meeting during which he expressed his thanks and appreciation to the Republic of Angola for hosting this important meeting.
Foreign Minister explained that the meeting came at a critical moment as the Great Lakes region faces challenges in the areas of peace and security, in Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Central African Republic, which requires close cooperation between the member states to address these challenges.
Meanwhile, Dr. Al-Sharif referred to Sudan's support for the Luanda process led by the Great Lakes Group of States to normalize relations between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, which works in coordination with the Nairobi process led by East African countries for peace in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
Foreign Minister commended the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region for condemning the rebel Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia in its extraordinary summit statement on Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo held in Angola, which called for the insurgent RSF militia to be clearly condemned and designated a terrorist group due to the unprecedented atrocities it committed against civilians since the beginning of the war.
