China foreign ministry: Hopes grain deal implemented in comprehensive manner

China hopes the Black Sea grain deal can be implemented in a balanced and comprehensive manner, foreign ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said on Thursday, adding that China would like to strengthen communication with all parties and enhance global food security.

The comments were in response to a question at a regular press briefing about Russia's proposal to renew the Black Sea Grain Initiative for 60 days, half the term of the previous renewal.
