presents its compliments to all diplomatic missions and
international organizations accredited to the Sudan and would
like to advise that on the occasion of the Holy Month of
Ramadan, Sudanese officials will not be able to receive any
guests during this great month. Kindly schedule the visits
of ministers and senior officials to the Sudan after the
great month of Ramadan.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of the Sudan

consideration.
(End text)
