Re: President Sahle-Work meets French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris
Looks like PM Abiy's poor diplomacy is beaten by Sudan.
Sudan secures international support at Paris Conference
May 18 - 2021 PARIS
Eiffel Tower was lit in the colours of the Sudanese flag for the occasion of the International Conference to Support the Sudanese Transition (Social media)
Yesterday marked the launch of the Paris Conference, which was attended by a large number of representatives of countries, international institutions, and businesses. The conference was organised to support the democratic transition in Sudan and encourage international investments and partnerships.
It aims to encourage public and private international investments in Sudan after its removal from the USA list of state sponsors of terrorism (SST) and to establish investment partnerships with the international community to contribute to debt relief for Sudan as it currently has US$60 billion worth of foreign debt.
The conference participants were addressed by French President Emmanuel Macron, Sudan’s Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok, and Chairman of Sudan’s Sovereignty Council Lt Gen Abdelfattah El Burhan. A number of representatives of international organisations and international financial institutions and Sudanese activists also addressed the conference in the presence of heads of states.
As Radio Dabanga reported yesterday at the start of the conference, three sessions were planned. The first session is concerned with presenting the new Sudan and a review of economic reforms in Sudan. An opening video that shows the beauty of Sudan was shown.
The second session dealt with the modernisation of banking services in Sudan. The third session included round tables on investment opportunities in four main sectors: infrastructure, agriculture, energy and mining, and information and communication technology.
The French President also held a joint press conference with Chairman El Burhan and Prime Minister Hamdok in the evening.
The conference seemed to bear fruit as several countries and international institutions, such as the African Export Bank, pledged financial support to Sudan to invest in its economy or clear its foreign debt.
