December 10, 2009

Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir Thursday urged member states of the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) to enhance their cooperation to face world challenges and economic crisis.

Addressing the opening ceremony of a conference of the OIC transport ministers, Bashir said that "we should cooperate together, strengthen economic ties and expand investments among the states of the organization."

The Sudanese president, meanwhile, reiterated the commitment to achieve the peace and stability in all parts of his country and to end the tensions in western and southern Sudan.

"Today, with cooperation of our brothers and friends, we work sincerely to achieve peace in Darfur," he said.

He further said Sudan was seriously preparing for the general elections, saying that the development and stability could not be achieved without peace and social, national and regional consensus.

The OIC Secretary General Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, for his part, said the organization would spare no efforts to help addressing the challenges facing the OIC member states and that the organization was adopting a comprehensive plan to facilitate trade and develop infrastructures.

The Dakar-Port Sudan Railway Lines Project is one of the most major issues to be discussed by the OIC ministers of transport during their conference.

The lines would link Sudan, Chad, Mali, Niger, Senegal, Namibia, Burkina Faso, Libya, Cameroon, and Guinea.
