Both sides have shown understanding and support on issues concerning each other’s core interests and major concerns and had close communication and coordination in international affairs, he added. To help Sudan with its fight against COVID-19 and flooding both unseen in a century, China has provided timely humanitarian assistance, underlining the high level of the China-Sudan strategic partnership. China stands ready to further cement the mutually-beneficial cooperation with Sudan in all fields, maintain the international order underpinned by the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, and safeguard the shared interest for common development.
