They said the two countries have also underlined that the remainder of the sum will be used to meet the urgent needs of the people of the Sudan including food, medication and petroleum product.
They said they took this initiative in observance of their duty towards the brotherly Sudanese people and on the basis of constructive cooperation and in support of the sister Sudan state.
