The Central African Republic (CAR) is taking all necessary measures to ensure that the grain sent by Russia to African countries reaches its recipients as soon as possible, CAR Foreign Minister Sylvie Baipo-Temon told Sputnik.
On December 4, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Moscow was sending grain to six African countries in need and that some ships were already unloading at the destination points.
"Everything is now being done so that recipients of these donations can get access to them very quickly," Baipo-Temon said.
In terms of deliveries, the CAR is heavily dependent on road routes, including those through Cameroon, she said, adding that the nation is working with the Cameroonian authorities to resolve the issue.
The top diplomat also confirmed in her interview with Sputnik that the CAR was happy to become a part of Russia's initiative to send grain to African countries.
