Turkey said it and Russia, Ukraine and the UN will sign the next week's agreement to resume grain export activities in the Black Sea.

Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar said on July 13 that the upcoming agreement includes a general control to check the shipments at the ports and ankara to ensure safety for export routes in the Black Sea.

Turkey will also join Ukraine, Russia and the United Nations to set up a coordinating center to export cereal.

The announcement came after a cereal negotiation between Ukrainian, Russian, Turkey and UN officials in Istanbul.

Russian officials, Ukraine, Turkey and the United Nations negotiated in Istanbul on July 13.

Hope we will be able to reach the final agreement next week.

When it comes to prospects for peaceful negotiations to end Ukraine, Guterres said that Moscow and Kiev showed that they could participate in the peace negotiation process, but there was still a long way ahead.

The fourth party on July 13 is the first live negotiation between Russia and Ukraine since the meeting in Istanbul on March 29, in the context of the risk of food crisis that has been spreading quickly in many poorest areas.

More than 20 million tons of Ukrainian cereals are trapped in Silo at Odessa port in the Black Sea and dozens of ships cannot move after Russia opened a special military campaign in Ukraine.

Ukraine, Russia are major wheat suppliers worldwide and Ukraine is also a significant manufacturer of corn and sunflower oil.

Turkey agreed to ensure the security of maritime corridors exporting Ukraine cereals, but the plan was difficult to succeed if Moscow and Kiev did not agree.

Tens of millions of tons of cereals are still trapped in Ukraine, causing farmers to pile up when they are about to enter a new harvest.
