Khartoum: Sudan's Minister of Tourism, Antiquities and Wildlife Dr Mohammed Abu Zaid Mustafa praised the invaluable role played by the State of Qatar in global peace and its international endeavours aimed at ending conflicts, advocating non-violence and resolving conflicts through peaceful means.
He said that this policy was highly respected globally and placed Qatar among leading countries in establishing international peace and security through diplomatic and political means.
The Sudanese Minister said that Doha is a beacon of peace as it has hosted numerous events and regional and international conferences to consolidate peace and has made a pioneering contribution in the Arab reunion and Islamic unity by finding a coherent system that seeks to overcome challenges and obstacles arising from crises, conflicts and disputes.
With regard to the Qatari- Sudanese relations, the Sudanese Minister of Tourism, Antiquities and Wildlife stressed the depth of relations between the two countries, saying that Doha stood with Khartoum in the most difficult circumstances, and that the Qatari leadership was the first government in the world to break the blockade imposed on Sudan and dealt with it despite the difficulties and risks.
This step, he said, led later to achieving a breakthrough and openness and was followed by the lifting of US sanctions on Sudan, pointing out that Khartoum has benefited greatly from Qatar's efforts at the regional and international levels, a matter which helped Sudan to convey its message and obtain the necessary support required to resolve its international issues.
