New Delhi (IINA) – Sudanese Foreign Minister Prof. Ibrahim Ghandour expressed his country's appreciation of the Indian decision to exempt African products from customs duties, stressing that this step will greatly contribute to doubling the trade exchange between India and Africa, SUNA reported.
This came in his address to the ministerial council which is preparing for the 3rd Summit of the India-Africa Forum, scheduled to begin in New Delhi on Thursday.
Ghandour reviewed aspects of the cooperation between Sudan and India at the bilateral, regional and international levels, especially on the issues of International Law, the UN Charter, the principles of states' sovereignty, implementing the principles of democracy and the rule of law as well as standing against hegemony and unilateral sanctions being applied outside the framework of the international legitimacy for the sake of imposing political agenda on the African countries.
The minister expressed Sudan appreciation of the Indian experiment in fields of small and medium-scale industries, software, energy, petroleum and agricultural research. He called for enhancing the banking system in dealing between India and Africa by using the African currencies and the Indian Rupee in the bank transfers.
He affirmed Sudan's keenness to formulate policies as well as long and short-term plans and programs to achieve balanced and sustainable economic and social growth, referring at the same time to some factors that have negatively affected the economic situation in Sudan such as foreign debts and unilateral sanctions.
