Brazil sees Ukraine as important actor in global food security chain – ambassador
The relevant statement was made by Ambassador of the Federative Republic of Brazil to Ukraine Rafael de Mello Vidal in a conversation with Ukrinform.
“Brazil considers Ukraine one of the most relevant international actors in the food security chain. This is why it was so important to have Ukraine as a founding member of the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty,” the diplomat said.
In his words, this initiative has just started to work
“Partnership with Ukraine will be a very productive one, particularly with our common goals to aid nations that struggle with hunger and food security,” the Brazilian envoy stressed.
A reminder that Ukraine joined the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty as a founding member by signing a corresponding agreement during the G20 Summit in Rio de Janeiro on November 18, 2024.
On November 26, 2022, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky launched the Grain from Ukraine humanitarian initiative, bringing together several dozens of countries and international organizations to help nations suffering from food shortages.
The initiative involves direct purchases of Ukrainian grain by developed countries and its transportation to countries threatened by famine. The process is coordinated by the United Nations World Food Programme.
