President of the Republic after that held separate meeting with President of the European Council Mr. Hermann Van Rompuy and with President of the European Commission Mr. Jose’ Manuel Barroso. The meeting discussed means of strengthening the South Sudan EU cordial relationships which began long time ago before the independence of RSS, and how best the EU and RSS can work together to ensure the viability of RSS as an independent state, and RSS also expresses desire of seeing that Republic of Sudan achieve the same viability. The meeting also focused on the role that the EU can play in resolving the tensions between Sudan and South Sudan, for the EU is in a unique position of influence due to its political relationship with both South Sudan and Sudan.

In light of this, he added, “I’ve invited President Bashir to Juba so that we can further discuss these issues and continue to negotiate with the aim of reaching a comprehensive agreement soon”.
President Kiir announced that EU reiterated commitments for humanitarian assistance in RSS to ensure internal stability. President Kiir also announced that EU earmarked 285 million Euros for development projects in South Sudan, which will be prioritized to areas of food security, education and healthcare. President Kiir declared to the press that RSS has submitted the letter of intent to join membership of COTONOU organization, which will be beneficial to the new state and its coming generations.
