The signing ceremony of the Grain Shipment Agreement will be held in Istanbul with the participation of Ukraine, Russia, President Erdoğan and UN Secretary General Guterres.
The signing ceremony of the Grain Shipment Agreement, which is expected to alleviate the food crisis affecting the whole world with the Russian invasion of Ukraine, will be held in Istanbul today with the participation of Ukraine and Russia parties, President Tayyip Erdoğan and United Nations (UN) Secretary General Antonio Guterres.
The agreement in question will be for the opening of Ukraine’s Black Sea ports to grain exports.
The blockade of the fleets in the Black Sea by Russia, which invaded Ukraine on February 24, reduced the supply worldwide and caused grain prices to rise.
Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu mentioned the importance of the agreement in his statement yesterday and said, “We are not hopeful about a ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia, but if there is cooperation on grain, it will be a confidence-building step between the two countries.”
