Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha:  "I was pleased to meet with Foreign Minister of Benin Olushegun Adjadi Bakari and inform him about Ukraine’s efforts to achieve a fair peace. I appreciate his support for our common principles. 

Russia's war against Ukraine has had serious consequences for Africa, such as food insecurity and regional instability. 

This is why achieving a fair peace for Ukraine benefits our African partners as well. Ukraine is ready to strengthen cooperation with Benin and other African nations to enhance food security and foster regional stability. 

We also talked about ways to strengthen our bilateral cooperation and Ukraine's ties to the African Union. I invited my colleague to visit our country at a convenient time."
