Reuters

   KHARTOUM - France's foreign minister announced 60 million euros in aid
   for Sudan's transitional authorities during a visit to Khartoum on
   Monday, while offering to help Sudan rebuild relations with
   international lenders and tackle its foreign debt.

   "We are in a new Sudan, a Sudan which is at a key moment in its
   history, and France is at the side of this new Sudan," Jean-Yves Le
   Drian told reporters, paying tribute to peaceful protests that led to
   the ouster of former President Omar al-Bashir in April.

   Le Drian spoke alongside his Sudanese counterpart Asmaa Abdallah, who
   was named in a government sworn in last week following a power-sharing
   deal between the military and civilian groups.Talks on Monday focused
   on the new Sudanese government's priorities, Le Drian said, including
   the top priority of fixing an economic crisis that triggered the
   protests that led to Bashir's overthrow.
