EUHR Solana welcomes AU-UN announcement of time and venue for peace negotiations on Darfur

"Convening peace negotiations on Darfur is a very welcome step in the right direction. Together with the on-going transition to the African Union-United Nations hybrid operation in Darfur, and the discussion on a potential European / ESDP operation in Chad and the Central African Republic in line with the UN Secretary-General's report of 10 August, the concrete perspective for peace negotiations on Darfur increases the current momentum towards a sustainable solution to put an end to the suffering of the people of Darfur.

"I urge all parties to the forthcoming negotiations to participate constructively with a view to obtaining a truly inclusive and sustainable political settlement of the conflict in Darfur. The European Union stands ready to contribute to and facilitate this process".
