(Recast)Sudan's new gov't to include all political forces: president

Xinhua, March 3, 2017 Adjust font size:

Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir reiterated on Thursday that the new government would include all political forces, without specifying a date for the impending formation.

Al-Bashir said at a press conference that consultations are still in progress to ensure consensus on all posts and at all levels.

He vowed that the ruling National Congress Party (NCP) would give concessions to ensure formation of a government that assimilates all the political forces.

The newly appointed prime minister, Bakri Hassan Saleh, would be entrusted with the file of reformation of the government institutions, he disclosed.

Saleh was sworn in on Thursday as Sudan's prime minister. Endit
