South Sudan seeks investment as guns fall silent, says South Sudan’s ambassador to UAE

Political stability and maintaining peace are crucial for the survival of the youngest country in the world after many years of struggle to build up state institutions and end tribal violence, South Sudan's ambassador in Abu Dhabi said.

In an interview with The National, Ambassador Deng Deng Nhail said corruption is also one of the largest obstacles to the development of a country rich in natural resources that should be spent properly on infrastructure and basic services.

Mr Nhail, in office since 2016, says his country sees the UAE as a role model in how it has become an economic and technological success story.
