Khartoum, Sept. 6 (SUNA) - The Minister of International Cooperation Dr. Kamal Hassan Ali praised the great support which has been provided by the Common Market for East and South African countries (COMESA) to Sudan since 1994 and through which the different project were implemented.
This came during the ceremonies of the joint signing, between the Minister of International Cooperation Dr. Kamal Hassan Ali and the COMESA Secretary General Dr. Sandessu Moukna, of the amended document on the Sudan regional integration project within the framework of COMESA, which funded by the European Union (EU).

The minister added that COMESA paid to Sudan an amount of 1,249,922 euros out of the 24 million euros to be exploited in the countries of the region for the year 2016. To attain the grant every state has to prepare vital projects and investments and work to expand trade targeting the regional integration as well as encouraging the private sector, adding that this funding comes from the non-exploited amounts in the ninth fund in the European Union.
