The delegation of Sudan has witnessed tremendous efforts made by the international community in implementing the Mauritius Strategy and applauses the evident economic changes that progressed over the years. Nevertheless, Sudan stresses the important existance of Peace as the main pillar for any on enation to achieve sustainable development.
