During his address at the opening of the forum, he pointed out that Sudan possesses potential, resources, natural and human wealth, and a distinguished geographical location that qualifies it to be among the prosperous nations at both regional and international levels. He explained that the forum comes as a continuation of efforts to prepare the five-year plan project, leveraging the opinions and ideas of experts and specialists to fulfill the aspirations of the Sudanese people and meet their needs in light of the repercussions of the war imposed on the country. He noted that the plan represents one of the promises of the 'Hope Government' to the Sudanese people through a work program that defines priorities and supports the requirements for recovery, reconstruction, and the transition to the post-war phase. The Secretary-General of the Council of Ministers stressed the necessity of building productive and fruitful partnerships with brotherly and friendly countries based on cooperation, investment, and mutual interests.
