    The debt relief comes at a critical time for Sudan, where a prolonged civil war has devastated the economy. United Nations data shows the conflict has set the country’s development back by 30 years, wiping out $6.4 billion from its gross domestic product in 2023 alone and pushing 7 million people into extreme poverty.

    Ibrahim praised Beijing for its historic economic backing, noting that China invested heavily in Sudan’s oil sector at a time when Western nations restricted investments. He emphasized Sudan’s potential to serve as a strategic gateway for wider Chinese commercial expansion into Africa.
