Sudan has vowed on Wednesday to cooperate with the deployment of up to 26,000 U.N. and African Union troops and police to quell violence in Darfur after the U.N. Security Council authorised the force.
The mission has been given authority to use force to protect civilians and the world's biggest aid operation, but the resolution was watered down and no longer allows troops to seize illegal arms.
There was also no threat of sanctions if Sudan fails to comply.
"It is practical. It's taken into consideration most of our concerns -- we are comfortable with the resolution," Foreign Minister Lam Akol told Reuters.
"Now that we have been part of the discussion we will definitely cooperate with it," he said.
He added that the government had no problem with deploying the entire force, which is expected to take up to a year.
The mission, authorised on Tuesday, will absorb an African Union force that has failed to end violence in Sudan's remote west, where international experts say about 200,000 people have been killed and 2.5 million driven from their homes since 2003.
Sudan puts the death toll at 9,000 and accuses Western media of exaggerating the conflict, which began when mostly non-Arab rebels took up arms complaining of neglect by Khartoum.
The U.N. resolution authorizes up to 19,555 military personnel and 6,432 civilian police, although it could take many months to get countries to send them. The operation is expected to cost $2 billion in the first year.
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice welcomed the Security Council resolution, adding the US expected Sudan's government to "live up to its commitments."
