KHARTOUM, March 5 (Reuters) - Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir said on Thursday his government had expelled 10 foreign aid agencies and vowed to act "decisively" but responsibly against those who threaten his country's stability.

"We will act as a responsible government," he told a session of the country's top politicians and cabinet members in his first public response after the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant against him over war crimes in Darfur.

"We have expelled 10 foreign organisations ... after monitoring activities that act in contradiction to all regulation and laws," he said. (Writing by Alaa Shahine)
