Khartoum/ Al Hamish’s Voice – October 24, 2025
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation announced that Sudanese Foreign Minister Mohieldin Salem Ahmed is making an official visit to Washington, D.C., at the invitation of the United States government, as part of Sudan’s efforts to strengthen bilateral relations and expand cooperation with Washington.
In its statement, the ministry said the visit comes as part of ongoing efforts to develop relations between Khartoum and Washington and to continue dialogue on issues of mutual interest, including supporting the peace process in Sudan, strengthening economic and humanitarian cooperation, and exploring opportunities to rebuild relations based on mutual respect and shared interests.
During his visit, the minister is expected to meet with officials from U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration, as well as several political and economic circles in Washington, to discuss the future of cooperation between the two sides, particularly in the areas of energy, infrastructure, and the humanitarian sector.
The visit comes amid intensified diplomatic efforts aimed at ending the ongoing war in Sudan, as the United States seeks to shape a new vision for a political solution following the stalemate of the Jeddah initiative, which it co-sponsored with Saudi Arabia, amid international attempts to revive a comprehensive political process.
The visit also coincides with growing European and African efforts calling for a comprehensive settlement, including the recent conclusions of the European Council on Sudan, which drew objections from the Sudanese government for being “unfair” and for overlooking the violations committed by the RSF militia against civilians in Darfur and Al Fashir.
Inside the sudan, the political scene is witnessing broad movements following the announcement by political forces and peace partners in Port Sudan of the formation of a national committee to manage the Sudanese internal dialogue, a step aimed at unifying the national stance toward international initiatives and promoting Sudanese-led solutions to the crisis
Observers view the foreign minister’s visit to Washington as an attempt to reset relations with the United States and to convey Sudan’s official stance rejecting any equation that equates the state with the militia, while reaffirming Sudan’s openness to an international dialogue that “respects national sovereignty and supports the country’s stability.”
