China waives $50M Sudan loan amid deepening bilateral ties
Khartoum says debt relief strengthens cooperation with Beijing as Sudan seeks economic recovery during the ongoing conflict
KHARTOUM, Sudan (MNTV) — Sudan has announced that China has agreed to waive a $50 million loan, marking a new step in strengthening relations between the two countries as Khartoum seeks economic support during the ongoing war.
The announcement followed talks between Sudanese Foreign Minister Omar Seddik and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Beijing.
Sudanese officials welcomed the decision, describing it as a sign of China’s continued support for Sudan’s economic recovery and reconstruction efforts.
The loan waiver comes as Sudan faces severe economic challenges after more than three years of conflict that has damaged infrastructure, disrupted public services and weakened the country’s economy.
China has long been one of Sudan’s largest economic partners, investing in sectors including oil, infrastructure and telecommunications. Analysts say the latest move reflects Beijing’s interest in maintaining strong ties with Sudan while positioning itself for future reconstruction and investment opportunities.
Although the $50 million debt relief represents only a small portion of Sudan’s overall financial needs, officials say it could help strengthen cooperation between the two countries and encourage further Chinese investment.
Sudan continues to seek international economic support as it works to rebuild state institutions and restore stability following the prolonged conflict.
