Foreign minister to address US relations

    NAIROBI

    Sudanese External Affairs Minister Mustafa Osman Ismail has said he would be meeting Susan Rice, the US Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, next month at the UN General Assembly in New York to discuss the strained relations between the two countries. The official SUNA news agency quoted Ismail as saying it was “premature to speak now on full normalisation of Sudanese-American relations”. He told the agency that Khartoum believed the US was “not neutral as regards the country’s issues”, and that Sudan awaited “practical steps” by Washington “to prove its impartiality”.
