A war has raged in Sudan since April 2023 between the army and the RSF that has left tens of thousands dead and sparked a major humanitarian crisis.
On Sunday, the foreign affairs ministry asked for “consultations with the Sudanese government on the form and agenda” and for a “meeting with the United States” before any future negotiations.
The talks, co-sponsored by Saudi Arabia, must include the African Union, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and the UN as observers, Blinken said.
They are aimed at “achieving a country-wide cessation of violence and allowing access for humanitarian aid”, said the top US diplomat.
Previous rounds of talks in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, ended in failure.
