Madrid, 14 (European press)
The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Rishi Sunak, on Sunday urged countries with food reserves to make an effort to free them with the aim of increasing supply and relieving world famine.
In an article published this Sunday in the British newspaper “Daily Telegraph”, the British Prime Minister said: “I urge all countries that can produce more food or release reserves to do so to help increase the supply.”
Thus, he made this request “to put an end to the appalling militarization of food by Russia,” and added that the UN Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, counts on his support to maintain grain shipments through the Black Sea. .
Sunak noted that this measure is one of the five ways to “open (Russian President) Vladimir Putin’s control over the global economy” and thus introduce various measures “to stop Russia and restore financial stability at a very difficult time.”
In this sense, the British president has indicated that it is necessary to “continue to provide urgent support where it is most needed during the winter”, referring to residents of Ukraine and the British alike.
“We are helping the people of Ukraine as their national infrastructure is under attack by drones and missiles, just as we support people with Britain’s rising energy bills and we are taking action to prevent starvation in the most vulnerable parts of the country.” world, he said.
He also confirmed that he would take “urgent measures” to protect the British economy, by adjusting energy supply chains to reduce dependence on third countries.
Fourth, we must remain fully committed to promoting free markets and an open global economy where business leads growth, and the UK will continue to lead the way, using our ‘Brexit’ freedoms to pursue free trade deals ‘around the world’, he added.
He also cited cooperation between governments, the private sector and financial institutions to address the causes of high inflation as a priority.
“We will not allow our economic future to be held hostage to the actions of a rogue state, nor will our allies allow it. Instead, we will support Ukraine and work to implement every element of this five-point plan,” Sunak said.
