Russia, Turkey, Ukraine, and the United Nations have devised a road map to assure the functioning of a safe corridor for agricultural products export from Ukrainian ports, Anadolu Agency reported on June 2 citing diplomatic sources. According to the report, Turkey has been in communication with Ukraine's government for some time in order to establish a framework to secure the safe transit of grain from Ukraine to global markets.
A roadmap has been established as an outcome of Turkish side negotiations with representatives from Russia, Ukraine, and the UN, which will assure the functionality of the "grain corridor" under the auspices of the international body. The report further added that envoys from Russia, Turkey, Ukraine, and the United Nations will meet in Istanbul in the near future to discuss grain exports from Ukrainian ports.
As per Anadolu, the grain export centre to be constructed in Istanbul would govern the contact between Russia and Ukraine, which will be handled by Turkey in collaboration with the UN. With the opening of the coordination centre in Istanbul, Ukrainian ports will be able to export 20 million tonnes of grain to the international markets.
