 I think you and I are going out to press shoot a picture of us. Hello, how are you? Good to see you again. Good to see you, sir. Let's see if we have a board that's visiting. I don't worry about that. How are you? Just fine. How are your colleagues here? How are you? Yes, nice to see you, sir. Nice to meet you. They asked it, but it was funny. Did they ask the question? Who did it? I was filming and I think it was allegedly stolen. Oh, we were on this side. So I don't know if she just wanted it. Ken Adelman made a good comment on this. He said the question is, the day after with the day before, meeting all the time before, all the things that have been done that make it clear that there won't be such a scene. That was a good brave day before. We've been having a big thing here, whether you're aware, but one of our networks, I'm telling you, made a $7 million movie in the Middle West country about what happened to it in a nuclear war. The papers have been full of it and there's been great debate in talking about what the purpose of it was. And of course, it was a very depressing paper surgery on this terrible disaster. So that was why the question was asked. I've seen part of the movies, I've seen you answer some questions, commentators. Yeah. What's new? Everyone is expecting this. What's new in it? His opening question surprised me a little bit, but it showed that by the way, the Secretary is saying that he talks with the details and talks will lead you when you go to a Senate. It's been an honor and a pleasure to welcome President Numeri to Washington once again. President Numeri is a friend. Few can match his courage and in foresight as a peacemaker in Africa and in the Middle East. I place great value on his insights and wise counsel and appreciate this opportunity to speak with him directly. In our discussions, we found ourselves in basic agreement on critical issues in the Middle East and the Horn of Africa. President Numeri and I reviewed efforts to find a solution to the conflict in Chad. We agreed that the first step necessary to achieve that end is the withdrawal of Libyan forces from Chad. Likewise, we're of one mind on the need to support the African countries threatened by Libyan-supported aggression. We also discussed the urgent need to reach a just and comprehensive peace for the Middle East. Key to this is a settlement that would permit all states in the region to live in peace with secured borders while at the same time protecting the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people. I thanked President Numeri for his continued support of our current peace initiative on bilateral issues. I reaffirmed our willingness to help the Sudan meet the economic and military challenges that it faces. We applaud the Sudan's efforts to reinvigorate its private sector and reform governmental policies that hinder economic progress. Economic development is of utmost importance to the people of the Sudan and in this endeavor, the United States is happy to lend a hand to a friend. President Numeri's visit underlines the significant role that Sudan is playing in Africa and the Middle East. The people of America are proud to stand with the people of the Sudan as friends and partners for peace and progress. I would like to thank President Regan for his invitation to me to come to visit once again the United States and I would like to say to him that we are very pleased by our friendship to the people of the United States. President Regan and myself have discussed bilateral relations between our two countries and reviewed ways and means to further strengthen them. We are hoping that the important role played by United States towards refugees will continue and expand. At a time where we in the Sudan face and cater for ever increasing numbers from our neighboring countries, especially Ethiopia. In Africa, we have been and still are very concerned about this civilization policies presented by Libya and its intervention in the internal affairs of others. Libya is undermining the unity of cat by invading and occupying its territory and plotting again is the unity and stability of the Sudan. Ethiopia and Libya are both playing a very dangerous role and executing policies serving interests of a superior power. On the Middle East, Sudan is fully committed to a just solution to the Palestinian problem. In this context, Sudan stands firm behind the first resolution and we also supported the Reagan initiative as a step towards a more comprehensive solution. We deplore and regret the continued bloodshed in Lebanon and call on all parties to save Lebanon and its independence. We also condemn all policies and practices aimed at liquidating the PLO and deplore the shedding of Arab blood by Arab hands. Israel remains a cause of the problem in the Middle East. We call on President Reagan to exert his utmost to stop Israel expansion policy and play the role becoming great power that has such a great interest in the Arab world and we call also on the Soviet Union to assist in peace progress in the Middle East and thank you.
