S.Sudan ready to resume talks with Sudan "any time"

South Sudan said on Thursday it was ready to reopen negotiations immediately with its northern neighbour Sudan to try to resolve oil, security and frontier disputes that ignited border fighting last month.

Minister of Cabinet Affairs Deng Alor told reporters that his country, which became independent from Sudan last year, was committed to complying with a U.N. Security Council resolution last week that called on both countries to negotiate their differences peacefully or face sanctions.
