Sudan Council Sees Need for Improved U.S. Ties

Reuters
08-MAR-98

KHARTOUM, March 8 (Reuters) - A Sudanese Foreign Ministry official said
in remarks published on Sunday that Sudan and the United States should
work
on improving diplomatic relations.

Hassan Abdin, Foreign Ministry director of foreign relations, made the
remarks
on Saturday after a meeting of the ministry's advisory council.

''The meeting affirmed the necessity of improving relations between
Sudan and
the United States and their development in all fields, especially
politically,
economically and culturally,'' the private Al Rai al Aam newspaper
quoted Abdin
as saying.

It said he called for dialogue between the two countries. It was not
immediately
clear whether any steps would be taken to start talks.

The United States in 1993 put Sudan on a list of countries it says
support
international terrorism.

Ties deteriorated in last November when the United States imposed
economic
sanctions on Sudan, accusing it of human rights violations and
sponsoring
international terrorism.

Sudan has denied the charges and says the United States is punishing it
for the
Islamist orientation of its government and for its independent foreign
and
domestic policies.
