Sudan government has approved to facilitate training on Sharia economy for Indonesian religious court judges that will take place at Sudan Commercial Court. The training is planned to be held for two weeks, from 5 to 20 October 2010.

The good news was conveyed by Sudan Ambassador to Indonesia, H. E. Ibrahim Bushra Muhammad, to Director General of Religious Courts Body in the Supreme Court, Wahyu Widiana, when the latter visited the Ambassador at his office on Wednesday (28/7/2010).

“We highly appreciate this cooperation. We are proud to be a place for Sharia economy study because Islamic banking in our country is in fact very advanced,” the Ambassador said.

H. E. Ibrahim Bushra Muhammad said his country will bear the costs of accommodation, transportation and any related facilities that the participants might need during the training. But the cost of transportation from Indonesia-Sudan-Indonesia will be funded by the Indonesia’s Supreme Court.

DG of Badilag admitted he is very happy to hear the explanation from the Ambassador. “On behalf of the leadership of the Supreme Court, we convey our deepest gratitude for the positive response from the Sudan government,” said Wahyu Widiana, who was accompanied by Farid Ismail, Secretary to the Directorate General.

The DG assured the Ambassador that the participants will seriously follow the training. They will firstly be asked to study rulings on Sudanese Sharia economy cases. It is hoped the participants could pass on their new knowledge and skill to other judges upon their return to Indonesia.

“We expect this training can give valuable things for the betterment of Indonesia’s religious courts,” Wahyu said. (c)
