According to China Global Television Network (CGTN) news, Ging made remarks at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) on Russia’s withdrawal from the Black Sea Grain Agreement.

CALL TO CONTINUE

Noting that the grain deal is of great importance to protect the world’s food supply and stabilize the market, Ging called on Russia and Ukraine to “continue to export grain and fertilizer in a short time.”

362 MILLION PEOPLE WILL BE AFFECTED

In his speech at the UN Security Council, Martin Griffiths, UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, recalled that many people were saddened and disappointed by Russia’s decision: “However, for 362 million, this is not a matter of sadness. It is about their future, their children, their families. They are not sad, they are angry and worried, some will starve and some will starve.” he said.

To reduce the impact of Russia’s attack on Ukraine on world food prices, the UN, Russia, Turkey and Ukraine signed the Black Sea Grain Corridor Agreement with a ceremony held in Istanbul on July 22, 2022.
