Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Wednesday spoke to his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov about Ukraine grain deal.

FM Bilawal has already spoken to the Turkish foreign minister, the US secretary of state and the EU high representative on the revival of the Black Sea Grain Initiative (BSGI) that allowed Ukraine to export grain despite the conflict.

It is pertinent to note that Russia had recently pulled out of the deal brokered by Turkiye and the UN in July last year.

The Ukrainian foreign minister, who visited Pakistan last week, requested Islamabad to play a role in reviving the deal. Pakistan accepted the offer and FM Bilawal has since then been in talks with relevant countries.

In a telephone conversation on Wednesday, he spoke to Lavrov and discussed the grain deal among other issues.
