The SNSC secretary further elaborating on the defeated US and Zionist plans and plots in the region and at the international scene, highlighted the growth of the Islamic awareness movement, and said that under such conditions strengthening solidarity among the members of the Islamic Ummah (nation) and taking maximum advantage of their shared opportunities are dire necessities. The Supreme Leader’s representative at the SNSC referred to the global oppression’s determination to halt the progress trend of the resistance front member countries, including Sudan, arguing, “Constant progress and advancement in various scientific and economic fields is a necessity in order to preserve the dynamism of the resistance front and in order to further strengthen it.” The Sudanese President’s Special Envoy Mustafa Osman Ismail, too, in the meeting presented a comprehensive report on the latest developments in North Africa region and appreciated the Islamic Republic of Iran’s continual support for the Khartoum Government. Mr. Ismail meanwhile asked for further strengthening of relations with Iran both at bilateral ties level, and in terms of closer cooperation with Tehran at the international scenes.
