Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed, the UAE's Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Co-operation, held talks about the situation in Sudan with India's Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar.
Mr Jaishankar said that in a phone call with Sheikh Abdullah on Wednesday, the two leaders “exchanged views” on the situation in the African nation as New Delhi steps up efforts to help stranded citizens.
Mr Jaishankar also spoke to Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan, discussing the violence that has broken out after a weeks-long power struggle between two rival generals and has killed nearly 200 people to date.
The fighting stems from army chief and military ruler Gen Abdel Fattah Al Burhan, and commander of the powerful paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) Gen Mohamed Dagalo, clashing over dominance in the country.
At least 270 people and about 2,000 have been injured.
Hundreds of Indians are stranded in various parts of Sudan due to the unrest.
Having also held talks with Prince Faisal, Mr Jaishankar said: “Appreciated his assessment of the Sudan situation. Will remain in close touch.”
Europe’s rearming plan
- Suspend strict budget rules to allow member countries to step up defence spending
- Create new "instrument" providing €150 billion of loans to member countries for defence investment
- Use the existing EU budget to direct more funds towards defence-related investment
- Engage the bloc's European Investment Bank to drop limits on lending to defence firms
- Create a savings and investments union to help companies access capital
'The worst thing you can eat'
Trans fat is typically found in fried and baked goods, but you may be consuming more than you think.
Powdered coffee creamer, microwave popcorn and virtually anything processed with a crust is likely to contain it, as this guide from Mayo Clinic outlines:
Baked goods - Most cakes, cookies, pie crusts and crackers contain shortening, which is usually made from partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. Ready-made frosting is another source of trans fat.
Snacks - Potato, corn and tortilla chips often contain trans fat. And while popcorn can be a healthy snack, many types of packaged or microwave popcorn use trans fat to help cook or flavour the popcorn.
Fried food - Foods that require deep frying — french fries, doughnuts and fried chicken — can contain trans fat from the oil used in the cooking process.
Refrigerator dough - Products such as canned biscuits and cinnamon rolls often contain trans fat, as do frozen pizza crusts.
Creamer and margarine - Nondairy coffee creamer and stick margarines also may contain partially hydrogenated vegetable oils.
