Sudan’s Permanent Representative in Geneva, Hassan Hamid Hassan, met on Friday with the UN Deputy High Commissioner for Refugees, Teresa Ray-Finnerty, to discuss ways to strengthen the historic partnership and cooperation between Sudan and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).

The Ambassador reviewed the humanitarian situation in Sudan, with a particular focus on the conditions of Sudanese refugees in neighboring and regional countries, noting that Sudan continues to host refugees despite the ongoing war.

The Ambassador also addressed the issue of voluntary return and its requirements, pointing out that approximately 6 million displaced persons and refugees have returned to their areas of origin. This, he noted, necessitates the mobilization and direction of support toward the rehabilitation of facilities and infrastructure to ensure sustainable stability and the provision of essential services for those who have returned.

For her part, the Deputy High Commissioner commended Sudan’s continued commitment to receiving refugees and keeping its borders open to those seeking protection, despite the exceptional circumstances the country is facing. She affirmed the UNHCR’s dedication to strengthening cooperation with Sudan and expanding partnerships with development agencies and donors to support sustainable solutions.
