We have decided to change the painful reality with the power of our will," he said. "We have finally laid the foundation stone for our modern state and the goals of our country are not far off or impossible, we see it close to reach and can be achieved. We are confident that we can stand back on our feet).In a press statement from Canada, the minister called on investors and major companies to visit and invest in Sudan after Sudan has put in place convenient investment regulations to attract investors to work in the mining sector.
