Khartoum, March 9 : A UN mission has said that it would work to mobilise international support and resources to support the transitional period in Sudan.
Head of the UN Integrated Transitional Assistance Mission in Sudan, Volker Perthes, made the remarks after meeting Chairman of Sudan’s Sovereign Council Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan at the presidential palace here on Monday, reports Xinhua news agency.
He further said the mission would work with the Sudanese government to support issues of census, elections and the second phase of the peace process.
