He stated that during the meeting, the Russian side will outline its approach to the issue. “The next United Nations Security Council meeting related to shipping security is scheduled for 27 April,” Logvinov said to the news agency. “During the upcoming event in New York, we plan to outline our fundamental approach to this issue, emphasising certainty in comprehensive security for commercial shipping from any country across the world’s oceans,” added the department director.
