Ankara is working with Moscow on grain shipment from Russian ports, Turkish President Erdogan says, after a landmark Türkiye-brokered deal that resumed the export of stuck Ukrainian grain
Erdogan and Putin have met in Russia's coastal city of Sochi, discussing bilateral relations and regional and international issues.
"The Razoni dry cargo ship passing through Istanbul was actually a first. Behind it, there are about 20 ships waiting at the ports," he said late on Friday, referring to the first ship to have left Ukraine earlier this week under the Türkiye-brokered agreement. "Our relevant ministries, primarily our Ministry of Trade, are working quickly on this issue," he said.
The leaders underlined the need for "the full implementation of the Istanbul agreement, including the unimpeded export of Russia's grain, fertiliser and raw materials for their production".Landmark deal
