The discussions have centered around governance, security, and the economy, with a focus on concrete resolutions to propel the country towards a brighter future.

The path to lasting peace in South Sudan necessitates a collaborative effort from all stakeholders, with a steadfast dedication to overcoming obstacles and forging a sustainable peace for the nation.
