Following is the text of UN Secretary-General António Guterres’ video message to the International Conference to Support the Sudanese Transition, in Paris today:

I thank France for hosting today’s Conference.  We have a responsibility to help Sudan consolidate its democratic transition, rebuild its economy and deliver sustainable peace and development for all its diverse society.

I commend the Government of Sudan for undertaking difficult economic reforms.  These mark major milestones on the country’s path to resilience and progress.  The Sudanese people have suffered for too long.  I also commend the Government for its peacemaking efforts with the signatories and non-signatories of the Juba Peace Agreement, and its determination to establish the rule of law, broaden the civic space and ensure inclusivity for all its citizens.
