She emphasized that there are investment-ready projects in infrastructure, including roads, railways, energy, and electricity, which are vital for Sudan at this time. The free zones and existing projects in these areas also present great opportunities.

She highlighted that Sudan will continue advancing with its strategies and plans set by the Ministry of Investment, offering incentives and exemptions to attract investors and rebuild what has been destroyed by the war.
