Ukrainian, Indonesian leaders discuss continuation of grain deal, G20 summit
ISTANBUL (AA) – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a phone conversation with his Indonesian counterpart Joko Widodo, during which they discussed the importance of continuing the Black Sea grain deal.
“Had a call with President of Indonesia Joko Widodo. We discussed the importance of continuing the Grain Initiative. Ukraine is ready to continue to be the guarantor of global food security. Attention was also paid to preparations for the G20 Summit,” Zelenskyy said on his Twitter account following the meeting.
The talk between the two leaders comes a day after Widodo held a similar phone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“In the context of ensuring global food security, Vladimir Putin outlined Russia’s principled approaches to implementing the Istanbul package agreements regarding the export of Ukrainian grain from the Black Sea ports and unblocking the export of Russian agricultural products and fertilizers to world markets,” a Kremlin statement said.
Meanwhile, Widodo welcomed Russia’s decision to rejoin the initiative in a tweet.
The Russian Defense Ministry has recently announced that Moscow is returning to the implementation of the Black Sea grain corridor deal reached this July.
Türkiye and Russia announced Moscow’s return to the deal following mediation by Ankara and the UN.
The G20 summit will take place in the Indonesian city of Bali on November 15-16.
