According to the Qatari official, he and Basole briefed the meeting on the progress made by the Qatari mediation and the concerted efforts of the United Nations and the concerned international bodies to solve the armed conflict in the Sudanese region.
The conferees reaffirmed support to Qatar's mediation between the Sudanese government and the armed groups in Darfur, Al-Mahmoud said.
Doha has set the stage for the first round of peace talks between the two conflicting sides which has been scheduled to take place this evening.
But it has been put off until Tuesday due to the late arrivals of the representatives of the government and the rebel Justice and Equality Movement (JEM).
The preliminary peace talks will be followed by more rounds that will gather representatives of other armed groups which are still opposed to the talks, Al-Mahmoud noted.
