Vienna, July 1, 2025 (SUNA) - Sudan has called on the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and its member states to support the country's efforts to recover and rebuild its industrial sector following the widespread and systematic devastation, sabotage, and pillaging inflicted by the rebellion.
This will involve, Sudan puts forward, establishing integrated agro-industrial complexes to connect farmers, factories, and distributors, promoting the use of renewable energy in industry, establishing vocational training centers in agricultural processing and digital skills, promoting responsible mining, and connecting Sudanese entrepreneurs to external markets.
This came in a statement delivered by Ambassador Magdi Ahmed Mufaddal, Permanent Representative of Sudan to the United Nations and International Organizations in Vienna, before the 53rd session of the UNIDO Industrial Development Board, which began on June 30 and will conclude on July 3, 2025.
The Board paves the way for the 21st session of the UNIDO General Conference, scheduled to be held in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, in November 2025.
