Statement attributable to the Spokesperson for Csaba\u00a0K\u0151r\u00f6si, President of the 77th<\/sup>\u00a0session of the General Assembly<\/strong><\/p>\n

Black Sea Grain Initiative<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The President of the General Assembly deeply regrets the decision of the Russian Federation to withdraw from the Black Sea Grain Initiative.<\/span><\/p>\n

For 12 months, this Initiative has provided a lifeline to millions of people hit hard by the global food security crisis triggered by the war in Ukraine.<\/span><\/p>\n

To date, the Black Sea Grain Initiative has facilitated the export of over 32 million metric tonnes of grain and food stuffs, directly feeding the people of the world and stabilizing global prices.<\/span><\/p>\n

The President commends the tireless efforts of the Secretary-General as well as the exemplary work of the Joint Coordination Centre and its staff.<\/span><\/p>\n

He\u00a0<\/span>recognizes also the efforts of the Government of T\u00fcrkiye.<\/p>\n

As is so often the case, the most vulnerable people suffer when food supply is short and prices rise, as we are already witnessing today.<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, the President reiterates his call on the parties to return to dialogue. The challenges are complex, they are interconnected, but they are not insurmountable. It is not too late.<\/span><\/p>\n

The President of the General Assembly calls for an end to this war, in line with international law and the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Charter.<\/span><\/p>\n
