Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan pointed out that “the admission of Russian grain to world markets will help solve the food crisis in Africa and other countries in need”, explaining that “if Russian grain starts to appear, we will establish some system in an optimal way. “So that we can get it to poor African countries and send them these pills and other products.”

In the statement, I hope to “publicly discuss this issue with Russian President Vladimir Putin because many countries are in a difficult situation, especially in Africa, and we need to get to these countries as quickly as possible and send them these products.”

It is noteworthy that on July 22, Russia, Ukraine and Turkey signed, under UN mediation, an initiative to provide a humanitarian maritime corridor for ships carrying food and fertilizer exports from the Black Sea ports, and to ban three major Ukrainian ports, Odessa, Chornomorsk and Yuzhny, was lifted for resumption export.
