Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, congratulated on Sunday the Sudanese government and people on the signing of the peace deal.

“Congratulations to Sudan for signing the landmark peace deal, marking a new era of peaceful coexistence, stability, and development. The UAE supports Sudan’s push for a future of progress and peace,” Mohamed Bin Zayed said.

Suhail bin Mohammed Al Mazrouei, Cabinet Member and Minister of Energy and Infrastructure, who has led the UAE delegation to the signing ceremony of the peace deal between the Sudanese parties in Juba said the deal contributes to supporting peace and stability and puts an end to conflicts and infighting in the fraternal state of Sudan.

He thanked the President of South Sudan, Salva Kiir Mayardit, and Tut Qalwak, the advisor to South Sudan's President who is also the head of mediation, for their contributions to forging this "historic deal".

"This is a significant and critical moment in the Sudanese people's history that brings all parties together to support the principles of peace, security and stability in a way that puts an end to the causes of conflict and infighting," the minister said.
