On 1 October 2026, Mumbai hosted the Asia Africa Agri Alliance (AAAA) plenary as part of the 29th edition of GLOBOIL India 2026, bringing together government representatives, diplomats and leaders from the global agricultural and edible oils sectors.

Anna Zaichenko, Acting Consul General of Ukraine in Mumbai, took part in the discussion and highlighted Ukraine’s role in global food security. She stressed that the security of the Black Sea is closely linked to the stability of international food supplies.

Ms. Zaichenko drew attention to Russian attacks on Ukrainian ports and logistics infrastructure, as well as the risks facing civilian shipping, stressing the need for safe and predictable navigation in the Black Sea. She also highlighted the importance of India’s role in international efforts to safeguard global food security.
