The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry voiced the intention of the Russian side to develop bilateral cooperation with Sudan.
"We will be grateful for recommendations on how Russia and other members of the international community could contribute to overcoming the crisis. We will take this opportunity to review our bilateral cooperation and outline ways for its further development," the minister said.
