Top Turkish diplomat, Ukrainian vice premier discuss implementation of grain deal
ANKARA (AA) – Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu discussed the implementation of the Black Sea grain deal with Ukrainian First Vice Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko in Brazil on Sunday.
“We discussed our humanitarian aid and the Istanbul Grain Agreement,” Cavusoglu said on Twitter.
The Turkish foreign minister was in Brazil to attend the inauguration ceremony of Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, the nation’s president-elect.
In July last year, Türkiye, the UN, Russia, and Ukraine signed an agreement in Istanbul to resume grain exports from three Ukrainian Black Sea ports, which were paused after the Russia-Ukraine war began in February. A Joint Coordination Center with officials from the three countries and the UN was set up in Istanbul to oversee the shipments.
The first ship carrying grain departed on Aug. 1 from the Ukrainian port of Odesa under the deal.
