Jaishankar discusses Sudan fighting with UN chief; PM Modi to review situation

Hindustan Times  

NEW DELHI: External affairs minister S Jaishankar discussed the security situation in Sudan, including ways to get stranded Indian nationals out of the country, during a meeting with UNSecretary-General Antonio Guterres in New York. External affairs minister S Jaishankar said his meeting with UN chief Antonio Guterres was largely focused on the situation in Sudan. India has been in contact with key regional players such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates and global powers such as the US since intense fighting erupted last week, exploring ways to ensure the safety of more than 2,500 Indian nationals in the northeast African country. The continued fighting between forces loyal to Sudan Army chief Gen Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and supporters of Rapid Support Forces leader Gen Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo has quashed hopes for a ceasefire.
