Egypt’s Foreign Ministry affirmed Cairo’s commitment to the Quartet initiative, aiming to end Sudan’s war and ease civilian suffering. The statement followed weeks of consultations among the four states under international Quartet efforts to restore peace and stability in Sudan. Accordingly, Quartet set timelines to end Sudan’s conflict and launch a civilian transition within nine months.
