Berlin: Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Eng. Waleed ElKhereiji participated today in the Conference on Sudan, held in Berlin. In his remarks, ElKhereiji affirmed that the meeting reflects a shared responsibility to support the Republic of Sudan in addressing this crisis to preserve its sovereignty, unity, and stability. He reiterated that the Kingdom’s priority is to achieve stability in Sudan, secure an immediate ceasefire, prevent the collapse of state institutions, and safeguard its unity, territorial integrity, and resources. He stressed that resolving the crisis requires a Sudanese-led political process that strengthens national institutions and respects Sudan’s sovereignty.
According to Saudi Press Agency, the Vice Minister further stated that the Kingdom continues its efforts to end the conflict in Sudan, based on the Jeddah Declaration of May 11, 2023, and is working to bridge gaps between the Sudanese parties and facilitate an effective return to political dialogue. He said that the conflict has resulted in civilian casualties and the displacement of more than 11 million people, posing serious regional and international concern. He added that recent developments, including the emergence of parallel structures, risk further complicating the situation and delaying a political resolution. He emphasized the importance of establishing a clear path beginning with an immediate ceasefire, followed by the launch of a structured political process that restores stability and preserves Sudan’s unity.
ElKhereiji also reaffirmed the Kingdom’s continued humanitarian support for the brotherly Sudanese people, announcing an aid package of $100 million through the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre, alongside the launch of a public campaign via the ‘Sahem’ platform. This brings the total aid provided to more than $133 million, with overall contributions exceeding $3 billion across key sectors. ElKhereiji further announced that the Kingdom will provide $145 million in support to Sudan as part of the 2026 Sudan Humanitarian Response Plan.
