KHARTOUM, Dec 15  — Sudanese Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok said on Monday that Sudan’s removal from the United States list of states sponsoring terrorism “helps tackle debts and improves the investment environment”, reported Xinhua news agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier in the day, the US Embassy in Sudan officially announced the removal of Sudan from the list of states sponsoring terrorism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The congressional notification period of 45 days has lapsed and the Secretary of State has signed a notification stating rescission of Sudan’s State Sponsor of Terrorism designation is effective as of today (December 14), to be published in the Federal Register,” said the embassy on its Facebook page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Oct 19, US President Donald Trump said he would remove Sudan from the list after Sudan paid US$335 million to American victims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The US listed Sudan as one of the countries sponsoring terrorism in 1993.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
