NEW YORK (AA) - President Recep Tayyip Erdogan met Tuesday with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres at UN headquarters after the Turkish president addressed the General Assembly.
No details were provided about the meeting which came almost two months after Türkiye and the UN brokered a grain deal with Russia and Ukraine.
Türkiye, the UN, Russia and Ukraine signed an agreement July 22 in Istanbul to restart grain exports from three Ukrainian Black Sea ports, which were paused after the Russia-Ukraine war began in February.
A Joint Coordination Center with officials from the three countries and the UN was set up in Istanbul to oversee the shipments.
Since the first vessel sailed under the deal Aug. 1, more than 160 ships have carried over 3 million tons of agricultural products through the grain corridor.
