The Sudanese Minister of Investment Mudesir Abdul-Ghani yesterday hailed the significant role being played by the State of Qatar to achieve economic stability in Sudan. 
Abdul-Ghani told the Sudanese radio the Qatari investments have made a big leap and enabled Sudan to achieve comprehensive development in various fields, especially real estate and banking sectors in addition to agriculture and animal wealth projects. 
The Sudanese Minister said Qatar Islamic Bank and Qatar National Bank in Sudan have significantly contributed to the development of the banking sector by facilitating procedural operations in terms of finance and foreign trade. Qatari Diar Real Estate has provided a successful model for urban investment and real estate development through a number of qualitative outstanding investments and a new vision of expansion including hotel sector, he went on saying. 
In this context, Abdul-Ghani reviewed the achievements made by ‘Widam’ Food Company in the field of meat and livestock, which promoted the sector to achieve global standards through exports of Sudanese livestock (live and slaughtered). 
Ghani pointed out that the Qatari private sector investments have contributed significantly to the development and promotion of agricultural and livestock sectors in Khartoum, River Nile and Northern State, stressing that these investments have enhanced Sudan’s Arab Food Security Initiative. 
So far, Qatar-Sudan Archaeological Project  have undertaken 40 foreign and national missions, he said, noting that the implementation of the tourist resorts for this project has made a considerable progress in the regions of  Begrawiya and Barkal in northern Sudan.
