In his remarks, Minawi reviewed his government's plans during the coming period and its endeavor to benefit from all the experiences of the peace process, saying that his government was not an alternative to the roles played by Doha in Darfur, and that the Juba Agreement is an extension of the role Qatar played in the field of peace.
