The meeting discussed the Quintet Mechanism’s proposal to advance peace efforts, and the “Somoud” delegation welcomed the proposals presented by the mechanism.
The alliance expressed its readiness to engage positively with all initiatives aimed at ending the war in the country.
The “Somoud” delegation presented its vision for achieving peace by linking the tracks of a ceasefire, humanitarian aid, and political dialogue.
The alliance delegation emphasized the importance of coordination between the Quintet Mechanism, the Quartet initiative, and other countries involved in peace efforts, such as the United Kingdom and Norway.
The meeting affirmed the importance of accelerating efforts to stop the war and the need for the conflicting parties to respond to the proposed humanitarian truce. It also stressed the continuation of consultation and communication to launch a credible, Sudanese-owned, and Sudanese-led peace process.
