Istanbul agreements on Ukrainian grain export is a good example of addressing interests of all parties when solving challenging issues, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Thursday.
The agreement on import of such products "is not a one-time mechanism," Peskov said. "This is the mechanism called to support export of grain accumulated in these [Ukrainian] ports and we hope this mechanism will continue operating with the same efficiency," he noted.
"This is a good example that the most challenging issues can be solved when taking into consideration interests of all parties," the Kremlin spokesperson added.
The spokesman said that Putin and Erdogan will discuss the departure of the first ship laden with Ukrainian grain and performance of Istanbul agreements. "There will be an exchange of opinions about the first voyage with grain from Odessa. In broad terms, this is a good opportunity to assess efficiency of operations of the mechanism created owing to Istanbul agreements," Peskov said.
