Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday said he would reinvigorate talks with Russia and Ukraine to establish a corridor for the export of grain from Ukrainian ports.
"The corridor in the Black Sea is a very important issue, in which the approaches of [Presidents of Russia and Ukraine Vladimir] Putin and [Vladimir] Zelensky are very important. We continue our negotiations and we want this process to continue under the auspices of the UN as a mediator. We will intensify our negotiations and try to achieve a result within 7-10 days," the Turkish president said at a news conference in Ankara following talks with Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi.
Erdogan also said he believes "there is a serious shortage of grain in the world, which is especially acute in Africa."
