The Kingdom called on warring parties to adhere to the commitments outlined in the Jeddah Declaration signed on May 11, 2023. It urged the warring parties to agree to a ceasefire, end the conflict, and ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid to those in need.
The Kingdom reaffirmed its strong commitment to supporting Sudan’s stability and preserving the unity of its legitimate institutions, sovereignty, and independence. It emphasized that a political solution is the only viable path to resolve the crisis in Sudan.
