Sudan diplomatic and economic stability efforts

Sudan has engaged in diplomatic efforts to address security and economic stability. In August 2026, Sudan and South Sudan resumed the Joint Political and Security Mechanism meetings in Juba after a multi-year hiatus. These talks focused on securing shared borders, enhancing regional stability, and managing the humanitarian crisis and refugee situation resulting from the war in Sudan.

Simultaneously, Sudanese officials met with the Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development in Kuwait to discuss the resumption of development funding. Discussions centered on addressing existing obligations to facilitate financing for reconstruction, infrastructure, and basic services, with an emphasis on supporting the private sector and low-income groups to aid economic recovery.

Building on these efforts, Sudanese Minister of Finance and Planning Jibril Ibrahim and Central Bank Governor Amna Mirghani conducted high-level missions to secure reconstruction investment. In Kuwait, meetings with the Kuwait Investment Authority and the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development targeted sectors such as agriculture, food security, mining, and infrastructure.

In Egypt, Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty met with Ibrahim to discuss bilateral economic cooperation and the rehabilitation of transport and medical infrastructure. Abdelatty reaffirmed Egypt’s support for Sudan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, emphasizing the necessity of a “Sudanese-led political settlement.”
