Turkish Foreign Minister holds phone call with his US counterpart

Mevlut Cavusoglu and Anthony Blinken talked latest developments on grain exports from Ukraine and bilateral ties.

On July 22, Russia and Ukraine signed a grain deal brokered by Turkey to allow exports of grain from blockaded Ukrainian ports.

On Wednesday, a commercial vessel carrying Ukrainian grain safely departed the Black Sea for the first time since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion in February. (ILKHA)
