Sudan foreign ministry says no knowledge of visit by Clinton
January 9, 2011 (KHARTOUM) – The Sudanese foreign ministry today denied report of an upcoming visit by the U.S. Secretary of state Hillary Clinton to attend the commencement of South Sudan referendum today.
SMC said the delegation would also include the US’s former Secretary of State Colin Powell and former US special envoy to Sudan John Danforth who served under President Bush.
According to SMC, the US special envoy to Sudan, Scott Gration, would arrive accompanied by ambassador Lyman and Dane Smith, who are the envoy’s special advisers on South Sudan and Darfur respectively, to prepare for Clinton’s visit.
Gration joined U.S. Senator and chairman of foreign relations committee John Kerry in attending the kick off of the referendum and the vote casted by South Sudan president Salva Kiir.
But Sudanese foreign ministry spokesperson Khalid Musa told reporters that they have received no official confirmation of such visit.
On Sunday, Clinton started a six-day trip to United Arab Emirates, Oman and Qatar and will reportedly also stop in Yemen as well.
