MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Sudanese Foreign Minister Ibrahim Gandur has criticized the United States for denying visas to the country’s delegates to attend a UN event in New York for a special session on the global drug problem.
“The United States does not have the right to refuse visas to Sudanese officials who had received an invitation to participate in UN activities. This is not in accordance with international law,” Gandur told Sputnik.
The United States earlier denied visas to Sudanese Interior Minister Asmuth Rahman and the delegation escorting him. Gandur said the United States also refused to grant the ministers of health and education visas.
“The behavior of the American authorities in regard to Sudanese officials is oppressive,” Gandur added.
