(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) The Black Sea grain agreement struck between Russia and Ukraine
in Istanbul earlier this year was thanks to Türkiye's role as a
mediator between Moscow and Kyiv, according to President Recep
Tayyip Erdogan, trend reports citing daily sabah .
He informed that under the landmark deal, Europe received about
44% of grain exported from Ukraine while Türkiye received 16% and
African countries 14%.
Citing Russian President Vladimir Putin's proposal to send grain
and fertilizers to the least-developed and developing countries,

the three countries and the U.N. was set up in Istanbul to oversee
the shipments.
