Sudan has appreciated the Arab League's support at all regional and international forums as well as on the lifting of US sanctions.

Sudan's Foreign Ministry on Tuesday said the country would continue commitment to work for the Arab League (AL) objectives, Xinhua reported.

It also mentioned the AL's support to adoption of Sudan's rehabilitation project and the initiative by Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir regarding the Arab Food Security.

The AL earlier issued a statement welcoming the US decision to lift the economic sanctions imposed on Sudan.

It said the US move came in line with the positive measures taken by the Sudanese government to stop hostilities in all conflict areas, improve the delivery and access of humanitarian aid as well as to cooperate with Washington to resolve regional conflicts and counter terrorism.

The US has been imposing sanctions on Sudan since 1997 and listing it as one of the countries sponsoring terrorism.
