Turkish President announces extension of Black Sea grain deal

[ad_1]
Ankara: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Saturday announced an extension of the Black Sea grain deal, CNN reported. However, he did not reveal details regarding the expiration date of the deal.
The deal was brokered by the United Nations and Turkey last July to ensure safe passage for ships carrying grain exports from Ukraine. The deal was set to expire today.
Speaking at an event in Turkey’s Canakkale province, Erdogan said, “As a result of our negotiations with both parties, we extended the agreement period,” as per the CNN report.
Turkish President Erdogan thanked the Russian and Ukrainian parties as well as United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres for their efforts to extend the agreement.
“This agreement, which has provided the shipment of 25 million tons of grain to the world markets with more than 800 ships to date, is of vital importance for the stability of the global food supply,” Erdogan said as per the CNN report.
“I would like to thank the Russian and Ukrainian parties and the UN secretary general for their efforts to extend the agreement once again,” he added.
Stephane Dujarric, a spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said, “We remain strongly committed to both agreements and we urge all sides to redouble their efforts to implement them fully,” according to the CNN report.
The agreement comes after Russia on Monday said that it had agreed to a 60-day extension of the deal. The Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov described the move as a “goodwill gesture.” On Thursday, the UN stressed that the agreement stated it would be extended for 120 days rather than 60.

In July last year, Ukraine and Russia signed the agreement following months of negotiations brokered by the UN and Turkey. The agreement allowed the resumption of exports of Ukrainian grain via the Black Sea.
According to the statement released by United Nations, the Black Sea grain initiative allowed commercial food and fertilizer (including ammonia) exports from three key Ukrainian ports in the Black Sea – Odesa, Chornomorsk, Yuzhny/Pivdennyi. The Joint Coordination Centre (JCC) was established to monitor the implementation of the initiative.

Saudi Arabia announces refund policy for domestic Haj pilgrims

[ad_1]
Riyadh: The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) has revealed refund policies for those inside Saudi Arabia who have registered for Haj 2023, before or after issuing the permit.
The Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah said that if the permit is not issued, domestic pilgrims who cancelled their registration before the 14th of Shawwal will be refunded the full amount.
In the event that the pilgrims refuse the Haj permit, the electronic services fees will be deducted.
However, 10 percent of the contract value will be deducted, in addition to the fees for e-services, from pilgrims who cancel their registration after the 15th of Shawwal and until the end of Dhul-Qada.
Any amounts paid after Dhul Hijjah 1 will not be refunded, the ministry confirmed.
According to the ministry, no refunds will be made after Dhul-Hijjah 1.
Pilgrims who, due to serious circumstances such as death, health conditions, criminal proceedings, or traffic accidents, need to be hospitalized or are infected with COVID-19 after Dhul-Hijjah 1, are exempted from the refund policy and their payment will be paid in full.
However, the authorities also clarified that acceptable proof of these reasons should be submitted along with the application for cancellation.

These concessions are also available to those whose Haj journey is cancelled due to any changes in current regulatory policies or health requirements.
Haj permit cancellation can be done through the Abshar platform and reservations can be cancelled through its website or the Nusuk app, the ministry said.
What is Haj?
The Haj pilgrimage to Makkah is a mandatory religious duty that must be performed by those Muslims who are physically and financially able to perform it at least once in a lifetime.
The Haj 2023 is expected to start on June 26 and will take place without COVID-19 restrictions, which will allow for the number of pilgrims before the pandemic.
For the last two years, Saudi Arabia had reduced the number of Muslims allowed to perform Haj to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
