Khartoum: The Ministry of Finance, in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Sudan, will organize a high-level dialogue tomorrow, Monday, at Al-Salam Khartoum Hotel on the recovery of the Sudanese private sector as a key pillar of reconstruction and rebuilding.

It also seeks to translate the strategy into practice by bringing together the necessary stakeholders to turn the vision into a tangible reality.The dialogue is expected to bring together government and financial institutions, private sector stakeholders, international trade partners, and development partners to develop a forward-looking roadmap and mobilize support for a sustainable and cost-effective social and economic recovery in Sudan.
