During the Paris conference that was held in the French capital, Paris, Sudan received clear support from the international community. French President Emmanuel Macron announced the cancellation of Sudan's debts with the aim of freeing it from its "debt burden."

He said, "We support the complete cancellation of the debts owed by Sudan, amounting to about $ 5 billion, as there is an agreement to settle all the arrears."

Macron said that "freedom, peace and justice are three words echoed by the representatives of the Sudanese revolution," praising the transitional process taking place in Sudan, calling on the leaders of Sudan to "continue their courageous economic reforms," he considered that "the Sudanese debt relief, which we will soon start, is the first result of these reforms, and the path of Sudan's return to the League of Nations must be strengthened."

In addition, Macron received after the summit both Sudanese President Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and his Egyptian, Ethiopian and Rwandan counterparts, in the presence of the heads of the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the African Union, the foreign ministers of Italy, Germany, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, and representatives of the United Nations and the European Union.
