According to the office of the President, President Kiir presented five-point recommendations crucial to finding a comprehensive peaceful and political settlement in Sudan while “prioritizing the interests of the Sudanese people.”
During the summit, Kiir had warned against foreign intervention in the Sudan conflict.
