Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will pay a one-day visit to Russia’s coastal city of Sochi to meet with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin to discuss bilateral ties and international issues.

They will meet in person for the second time in 17 days after the meeting in Tehran, where the leaders had a trilateral gathering with their Iranian counterpart Ebrahim Raisi for the 7th summit in the Astana format.

Türkiye, the UN, Russia, and Ukraine signed a historic deal on July 22 to reopen three Ukrainian ports - Odesa, Chernomorsk, and Yuzhny - for grain exports that has been stuck for months.
