Turkiye, Russia To Discuss Food Corridor In Black Sea, Lavrov Due In Ankara
(MENAFN- AzerNews)
By Trend
Turkish and Russian top diplomats, Mevlut Cavushoglu and Sergey
Lavrov will discuss the modalities of a secure corridor to be
established through the Black Sea for the shipment of nearly 20
million tons of grain to world markets to avoid a major global food
crisis, Trend reports citing Hurriyet Daily News .
Lavrov and Cavushoglu will first hold a bilateral meeting and
then chair their delegations before a joint press conference on
June 8 in the Turkish capital. The Russian foreign minister is
expected to be accompanied by a military delegation.
One of the most important issues to be discussed between the two
ministers will be ways to overcome an impending global food crisis
due to the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine which has blocked
the transfer of the latter's millions of tons of grains in the
silos of Odessa Port.
The process requires detailed work and the consent of both
Russia and Ukraine. Talks to be held in Ankara between Turkish and
Russian authorities are expected to be followed with more technical
meetings with the participation of the UN and Ukraine.
De-mining of the Odessa Port and creating necessary conditions
for safe navigation of the vessels through the Black Sea are the
most important parts of the project. Talks between the parties are
seeking ways to fulfill these conditions.
