\nForeign Affairs hailed the celebration of Africa Day on May 25, a symbol of
\nAfrican unity and the importance of this continent globally. This year, the
\nAfrican Union has set as theme for the day ‘Strengthening resilience in nutrition
\nand food security on the African continent’. The issue is all the more
\nimportant in the context of Russia’s illegal, unjustified and unprovoked
\naggression against Ukraine, which has complex consequences, including from the
\nperspective of food security, for many states in various regions of the world,
\nmany close partners of Romania and the European Union, the Rumanian Foreign
\nMinistry has said. In this context, the
\ndiplomacy in Bucharest reiterates the call for solidarity, cooperation and
\ncoordination, which must be assumed by the entire international community and
\nby all UN member states, in order to ensure global food security and thus
\nrespect universal human rights. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs recalls that,
\nin the last weeks, as a result of the war in Ukraine, the Romanian port of Constanta,
\non the Black Sea, has become one of the main gateways for the transport of
\nUkrainian cereals to third markets. To date, more than 240,000 tons of grain
\nhave been exported from Ukraine via Constanta.<\/p>\n

\nof monkeypox worldwide rose to 219 on Wednesday outside the West and Central
\nAfrican countries where the disease is endemic, according to a report published
\nby the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC). 19 countries
\nwhere the disease is uncommon, mostly in Europe, have reported at least one
\nconfirmed case. Ranking first in terms of confirmed cases are the United Kingdom, Spain and Portugal. Most
\nof the cases were detected in young men, self-identifying as men who have sex with
\nmen. There’s been no death, said the
\nStockholm-based European agency. Monekypox is a less dangerous variant of
\nsmallpox , which was eradicated some forty years ago. There are no specific
\ntreatments or vaccines for monkeypox, but the multiplication of cases can be
\nstopped by vaccination against smallpox.<\/p>\n
