According to a press statement issued by the United States (US) State Department on 6 October, US economic sanctions imposed on Sudan have been revoked and that the said decision will be effective as of 12 October 2017.

We welcome this development that constitutes a turning point in US-Sudanese bilateral relations.

We believe that the revocation of the sanctions on Sudan will positively reflect on peace, stability and welfare in Sub-Saharan Africa.

We fully appreciate the efforts of all sides that contributed to this outcome.

Turkey stands ready to contribute to the normalization process of US - Sudanese relations to the best of its ability.
