President Isaias Afwerki today received and held talks with a Sudanese government delegation headed by the Minister of Justice, Mr. Abdulbast Sebderat. The delegation also includes Mr. Al-Semani Al-Wesila, Deputy Foreign Minister.
In the meeting at the State Palace, the two sides held extensive discussion on the stage reached in the development of Eritrean-Sudanese relations and the overall situation in the region.
Both sides also agreed that the drama that has unfolded in the past few days in the name of the "International Criminal Court" against President Omar Hassan Al-Beshir of Sudan constitutes an insult and contempt to governments, peoples and values of nations, and as such it should not only be rejected but also rebuffed on the basis of coordination and clear strategy.
Stating that the Eritrean government maintains the belief and stance that problems of the Sudanese issue should be resolved solely by the Sudanese themselves, President Isaias underlined that the Government of Sudan or different political parties in the country should resolve their domestic issues themselves free from external interference.
The Sudanese delegation on its part expressed appreciation to the people and Government of Eritrea for standing as ever alongside the people and Government of Sudan.

In a statement he gave to journalists following the meeting, President Isaias pointed out that the drama being unfolded in the name of the "International Criminal Court" against President Omar Hassan Al-Beshir is a vivid demonstration of the double standard applied by its authors. And as this development has given rise to close awareness, it is imperative to counter such contempt through coordinated common endeavor, the President underscored. In this respect, he declared: "In order for our region to achieve stability, all parties are duty-bound to make due contribution."
