Sudan has been "an active partner" in international anti-terror efforts: FM

Sudanese Foreign Minister Ibrahim Ahmed Ghandour said here Friday that his country has been "an active partner" in international efforts in combating terrorism.

The minister made the remarks while taking the floor at the annual high-level debate of the UN General Assembly, which opened Monday.

"At the national level as well, we have come a long way in ensuring that our laws and legislations are in full cooperation with the international law and the international instruments related to combating terrorism," he said.

Sudan has become a party more than a decade ago to the relevant international law and instrument regarding the fight against terrorism, he said.

"In this regard, we firmly reiterate, on this podium, our categorical rejection of all attempts to politicise and circumvent the provisions of international law," he said.

"Our world will not be rectified in the absence of a fair, equitable and universally acceptable international order," the minister said.

"The current international system, which we had contracted and mutually accepted several decades ago and is governing world relations today, can no longer cope with the developments and major transformations occurring worldwide." Enditem
