 HALIFAX, Nova Scotia (AP) - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said she told Sudan on Monday there is no chance of improved relations with the United States if it flouts the world's demand for U.N. peacekeepers in Darfur.
Rice gave reporters a brief account of her morning meeting in Washington with Sudanese Foreign Minister Lam Akol. She was visiting Canada to thank that ally for its generosity in helping stranded American air passengers during the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks.
"I won't say that we made progress, but I will say that I delivered the strongest possible message in the strongest possible terms to the Sudanese government that any hope for bettering relations between the United States and Sudan rests on Sudan's cooperation with the United Nations Security Council resolution," she said.
