Sudan hopes to increase oil production by 35 percent in 2011, as European and Arab investors show more interest in exploring for crude in Africa’s biggest country, Petroleum Minister Lual Deng said.

Sudan, the third-largest producer of crude in sub-Saharan Africa, wants to raise output to 650,000 barrels a day next year from its current level of as much as 480,000 barrels a day, he told reporters in the capital Khartoum.
