Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu discussed during a phone call with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres the deal to ship grain across the Black Sea.
The Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the two sides also discussed the "zero waste" project launched at the UN under Turkish auspices.
On July 22, 2022, Istanbul witnessed the signing of the "Initiative for the Safe Transportation of Grain and Food from Ukrainian ports" between Turkiye, Russia, Ukraine, and the UN.
The agreement included securing stranded grain exports in Ukrainian ports on the Black Sea in eastern Europe to address the global food shortage, which threatens a humanitarian catastrophe. (QNA)
