Minister of Cabinet Affairs Lauds Russia’s Strong Support for Sudan

Minister of Cabinet Affairs, Dr. Limaa Abdel-Ghaffar Khalafallah, commended Russia’s firm and principled positions in support of Sudan during the severe ordeal the country is currently enduring.
She said Sudan aspires to forge strategic relations with the Russian Federation, pointing in this context to the joint signing of the Economic and Trade Cooperation Protocol between the two countries last September.
Addressing the Second Ministerial Conference of the Russia–Africa Partnership Forum, currently underway in Cairo, the minister affirmed the existence of strong political will to advance and deepen bilateral relations between Sudan and Russia. She noted that the coming year will mark seventy years of constructive cooperation and mutual understanding between the two countries, anchored in a clear strategic vision and sustained momentum toward further development.
She reviewed the trajectory of the Russia–Africa partnership in light of the outcomes of the two summits, the ministerial meetings, and the 2023–2026 Action Plan, as well as the expected outcomes of the current conference. She underscored that this progress is poised to contribute meaningfully to the realization of the African aspiration for the effective implementation of the continent’s Agenda 2063.
The minister also referred to the steadily expanding bilateral relations between Russia and a number of African states, praising Russia’s adherence to principles of peace, justice, equal sovereignty, non-interference in the internal affairs of states, and the exchange of benefits on the basis of mutual interests.
She called for comprehensive and far-reaching reforms of the international system, particularly the United Nations Security Council and the global political and economic order, in a manner consistent with the principles of fair and equitable distribution of opportunities as enshrined in the United Nations Charter.
Dr. Limaa Khalafallah stressed that the practice by some states of applying double standards in addressing violations and misconduct can only lead to deeper fractures and further conflicts. She affirmed Sudan’s hope that the Russia–Africa partnership will lay solid foundations for interconnected and constructive relations that contribute to combating negative phenomena, including terrorism, mercenaryism, and transnational crimes, thereby strengthening the pillars of peace, security, and stability.
