Saudi deputy FM urges unified action on Sudan crisis at London conference
LONDON: Saudi Deputy Foreign Minister Waleed bin Abdulkarim Al-Khereiji called on Tuesday for intensified international efforts to end the conflict in Sudan during his address at the London Conference on Sudan. Al-Khereiji said that the crisis extends beyond Sudan's borders, posing a serious threat to regional stability and both Arab and African national security, the Saudi Press Agency reported. 'Our collective responsibility requires us to support the dialogue process, work toward a ceasefire, deliver urgent humanitarian aid and safeguard Sudan's unity, institutions and territorial integrity,' he said. Representing Saudi Arabia at the conference, Al-Khereiji was attending on behalf of Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan. He highlighted the Kingdom's sustained diplomatic efforts to resolve the crisis, particularly through hosting the first and second talks. These negotiations resulted in the Jeddah Declaration on protecting civilians, a short-term ceasefire agreement that contained crucial humanitarian arrangements. The second round also led to the creation of a humanitarian coordination platform under OCHA, the adoption of four confidence-building measures and a proposed resolution formula on military base issues. In his address, Al-Khereiji discussed the importance of halting all external support to the conflicting parties to create the conditions for a lasting ceasefire and comprehensive political solution. He added that neutralizing foreign interference would facilitate humanitarian operations — particularly the opening of safe corridors and the delivery of aid. He warned against the formation of any parallel government or alternative political entity, calling such attempts illegitimate and damaging to Sudan's unity and sovereignty. 'These actions undermine the political process and deepen national divisions,' he said. The deputy foreign minister reiterated the Kingdom's belief that a solution to the war must be Sudanese-led and based on respect for the country's sovereignty, unity and the preservation of its state institutions.
