Ibrahim Ghandour, an assistant of Sudanese President Omar al Bashir, has stressed Khartoum's keenness on achieving peace through negotiations and dialogue.
Sudan welcomes back those wishing to return to negotiations, especially from the states of South Kordofan and Blue Nile, Ghandour said in a meeting with a group of leaders of the "change wing", which broke off from the SPLM-N.
The group has chosen to heed peace calls, Ghandour said, seeing in it an important step toward achieving stability and security in South Kordofan and the Blue Nile.
