Meanwhile, Sheikh Khidir, senior adviser to the Sudanese prime minister, said that “Sudan always appreciates the Chinese support at international forums, the valuable Chinese assistance to combat the coronavirus pandemic and the cash support for Sudan to face the floods and torrential rains which have recently hit Sudan.”

For his part, Ali Yousif, executive director of the Arab-Chinese Friendship Societies’ League, an affiliate of the Arab League based in Sudan, commended China’s supportive stances to Arab states.
