Khartoum  (SUNA) – The Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Abdul-Aziz Abdalla, Tuesday received at the ministry the US Charge d’Affaires to Khartoum, Brian Shukan, and discussed progress of the relations between the two countries.

The Foreign Ministry’s Undersecretary has expressed the disappointment of the government and the Sudanese people from the recent American administration’s decision to include Sudan in the travel ban list to the United States and its inconsistence with the positive developments that the country has been witnessing since success of the glorious December Revolution.

The American Chargé d’Affaires affirmed that the decision was dictated by purely technical necessities and has nothing to do with the behavior of the Sudanese in the United States, stressing the possibility of handling the matter by working to address the technical concerns that led to Sudan’s inclusion in the travel ban.
