Hungary will allocate $3.5 million for the export of Ukrainian grain to African countries as part of measures to solve the global food crisis.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Hungary, Peter Sijarto, announced the allocation of about $3.5 million to send grain from Ukraine to Africa. He stated this during a meeting with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Christophe Lutundula Apala Pen’Apala, European Pravda reports.
Szijjarto called the financing of the transportation of Ukrainian grain “part of the global responsibility” of Hungary.
According to him, Hungary and Congo are interested in establishing peace as soon as possible and “stopping armed conflicts”, and therefore call for “necessary dialogue, ceasefire and peace talks”.
In October, Hungary opened a large railway terminal on the border with Ukraine for transshipment of containers from a broad gauge to a narrow gauge. The project should establish an overland route for the supply of Ukrainian grain to the ports of the northern Adriatic.
