UN reopens office in Khartoum after nearly 3-yr closure

The UN on Thursday reopened its headquarters in Khartoum, alongside the resumption of operations of the UN Development Programme (UNDP), paving the way for a gradual restoration of its activities after nearly three years of suspension following the outbreak of conflict in the country.



Sudan's Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Mohi El-Din Salem, UN officials and representatives of the Khartoum State government attended the reopening ceremony.



In a statement, the Sudanese minister said the reopening reflects the resumption of cooperation between the Khartoum State government and the UN, hailing the step as a "positive indicator" of renewed international partnerships and support for the country's stabilization efforts.
