Washington (AFP) – US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo voiced hope Wednesday for a resolution in the coming weeks with Sudan, which said it expects soon to be delisted as a state sponsor of terrorism.
Pompeo said he spoke Wednesday by telephone with Sudan’s Prime Minister Abdalla Hambok, a civilian whose near year-old government has been pushing to remove the designation by Washington that severely impedes foreign investment.
“We’re working very closely with him to try and come to a solution so that we get the right outcome for their new leadership and for the Sudanese people,” Pompeo told reporters.
