Minister of Defense Lt. Gen. Abdulrahim Mohammed Hussein revealed that the government has opened channels for military cooperation with Russia, indicating that Sudan has reactivated its old military contracts with Russia.
The Defense Minister pointed out that Russia's viewpoint concurs with the government's on Darfur and that Moscow has voiced appreciation of the government's efforts aimed at resolving Darfur problem.
"We understand Russian foreign policy and the measures adopted by Russia for securing its national security. If the United States is talking of its national security and for that purposes moves tens of thousands of kilometers to Afghanistan and Iraq, Russia may as well talk of its national security across its neighbours," Hussein said, adding that Sudanese and Russia foreign policy coincides on several international issues.
