Foreign ministers of the G7 met in Paris on November 9 and 10 and issued a joint statement, released by Global Affairs Canada on November 11. They condemned the strikes on civilian ships around the Black Sea and said these carry significant consequences for food security worldwide. The ministers called for continued action on food trade problems tied to the Black Sea, to Hormuz being shut, and to El Niño. They also said that both sides stopping attacks on energy sites and in the Black Sea would be an important first step toward lasting peace.
