US welcomes Indian initiative of sending its special envoys to Sudan
and S.Sudan
US welcomed Indian initiative to send its special envoy Mr. Amarendra Khatua to Sudan and
South Sudan to promote peace b/w the two countries. Mr. Khatua is on a visit to both Juba and
and Khartoum as India’s special envoy to promote peace and guard India’s interests in the two
nations. The Indian move comes 3 months after China sent its own special envoy to handle the
crisis and guard its oil interests.
Why US and India are so much interested in maintaining peace b/w Sudan and South Sudan?
India and the US have interest in a stable and peaceful relationship b/w Sudan and South Sudan as
much of the oil is in the south.
