According to Sudan’s Prime Minister Mutaz Musa, when addressing the forum’s opening session, “this forum is convened under very complicated regional and international circumstances.”
The current challenges need efforts to enhance partnerships in mining field, create an appropriate atmosphere and provide the required infrastructures, he noted.
Musa further reiterated Sudan’s commitment to opening the doors for people willing to invest in Sudan’s mineral fields.
Sudan’s Minister of Petroleum and Minerals Azhari Abdelgadir Abdullah reiterated his country’s keenness to provide investment opportunities and double the production.
