Prime Minister Hamdok made the comments during a telephone conversation with his Kuwaiti counterpart, according to a statement released by his office on Tuesday.
The two officials reviewed bilateral relations, with Hamdok briefing his counterpart on the situation in Sudan and the government's steps to maneuver a transitional period in the wake of many challenges. He recalled the signing of the Juba Peace Agreement, between the government and Sudanese opposition groups, as well as Sudan's removal from the US Sponsors of State Terrorism list, "expressing his appreciation for the diplomatic role played by Kuwait," read the statement. - KUNA
