If one searches the name of the capital of
North Kordofan in the internet, one will get two spellings, Al Ubbayid and El
Obeid. The Ambassador of India prefers the former because it sounds more
Arabic.
The Ambassador of India H.E. Sanjay Kumar
Verma visited Al Ubbayid on 9th & 10th April on an
invitation from the Wali of North Kordofan, Moulana Ahmed Haroun. The
Ambassador met the Wali and his cabinet and discussed fruitful ways to deepen
and enhance cooperation. Subjects of special interest included agriculture,
health, water resources, sanitation and capacity building. Issues of ecological
degradation were discussed with India’s possible assistance. Rain water
harvesting was discussed with models for access to public services and India’s
experience. Ambassador Verma offered training courses to be provided to the
Sudanese citizens in North Kordofan.
The Ambassador visited an edible oil mill and
a vocational training center. A dinner was hosted by the alumni of Indian
universities in the city. The former graduates found it very nostalgic and
memorable.
The Indian Ambassador travelled by road and
enjoyed the journey, singing his favourite Indian film songs.
