Moussa emphasized the importance of focusing and combining all efforts in an effort that will lead to establishing a discussion among the different Sudanese parties to reach a stance accepted by everyone that forms a jump in Sudan's relations with its neighbors as well as reaching a solution that takes into its consideration Sudan's territorial integrity which is a basic matter.
