October 27, 2013 (KHARTOUM) - The leader of the National Umma Party (NUP) al-Sadiq al-Mahdi revealed today that the European Union (EU) wants to organize a conference involving political parties and the government in Sudan to find a platform for a peaceful resolution to the crises facing the East African nation.
Al-Mahdi made the revelation during the farewell ceremony he hosted for the EU Special Envoy for Sudan and South Sudan Rosalind Marsden who is concluding her term in the region.
"The NUP proposed a set of principles based on ten points for inclusive dialogue that is founded on [coming up with] the diagnosis of all issues," al-Mahdi said.
He noted that his planned visit to Uganda for a meeting with leaders of the Sudan Revolutionary Front (SRF) comes in that context.
The trip was postponed due to what al-Mahdi described as unspecified circumstances that highlighted the need for more coordination.
The NUP chief also praised the EU role in the field of humanitarian support provided to Sudan since many years ago.
Marsden on her end welcomed the progress that has occurred at the level of cooperation between Khartoum and Juba.
She also commended the role of the African Union in healing the rift between the two neighbors in the realm of the African House .
The EU diplomat expressed sadness at her imminent departure from the country.
