KHARTOUM, Jan. 21 (Xinhua) -- Sudan government on Saturday welcomed the inauguration of the new United States President Donald Trump, reiterating commitment to dialogue with the new U.S. administration, Sudan's Ashorooq Net reported.

Donald Trump was inaugurated on Friday as the 45th president of the U.S..

"Sudan will continue what it has started of dialogue with the U.S. on bases of the trust built between the two sides," Ibrahim Ghandour, Sudan's foreign minister, was quoted as saying.

"We do not expect change in the U.S. external policy as it is a state of institutions," he added.

The Sudanese minister reiterated that his country would continue dialogue with President Trump's administration until reaching full lifting of sanctions, including the removal of Sudan from the U.S. list of countries sponsoring terrorism.

On current January 13, former U.S. President Barack Obama issued a decision cancelling two executive orders imposing economic sanctions on Sudan.

The U.S. has been imposing sanctions on Sudan since 1997 and putting it on its list of countries sponsoring terrorism since 1993.

Since then, Washington has been renewing its sanctions on Sudan due to the continuing war in Darfur, Blue Nile and South Kordofan regions besides a number of outstanding issues with South Sudan, including the disputed oil-rich area of Abyei.
