“The grain agreement is a sign that dialogue between the parties is possible in the search to ease human suffering,” said Ms. DiCarlo, officially the Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs. She added that the UN is making every effort to support implementation of the deal, which was signed last week in Türkiye.
