"Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha held telephone talks with Tunisian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Migration, and Expatriates Mohammed Ali Nafti.
"I also informed my counterpart about Russia's attacks on Ukrainian ports and civilian shipping in the Black Sea, which threaten freedom of navigation and put global food security at risk," the minister's press service said, citing the minister.
According to him, these attacks have consequences far beyond Ukraine's borders, particularly for countries that depend on Ukrainian grain supplies.
"As Tunisia is an important destination for Ukrainian grain, we share an interest in keeping maritime routes open and secure," the foreign minister said.
We are committed to building on our longstanding friendly ties and opening new opportunities for cooperation between our countries," the foreign minister said.
