The talks will take place in Sochi, Emer Celik told reporters, adding that Turkey hopes to avert the looming food crisis.
“Bloomberg” news agency previously reported that Erdogan could meet with the Russian leader on September 8 before going to the G20 summit in Delhi.
Kremlin press secretary Dmitry Peskov told reporters that the talks are being intensively prepared, without mentioning anything specific about the place or time of the talks.
Since Moscow pulled out of a UN-backed grain deal in July, Russia has carried out several strikes on Ukraine’s port infrastructure and threatened to treat all ships in the Black Sea as military targets.
Erdogan is trying to revive the grain deal, hoping to use it as a basis for broader peace talks.
