(VOVWORLD) - Russia will return to the Black Sea grain deal 'the same day' as Moscow's conditions for export of its own grain and fertilizers to the global markets are met, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told reporters on Sunday.

Russia quit the deal in July, a year after it was brokered by the United Nations and Turkey, complaining that its own food and fertilizer exports faced obstacles and that insufficient Ukrainian grain was going to countries in need.

"When all the necessary actions for removing obstacles for our grain and fertiliser exports are implemented, the same day we will return to the collective implementation of the Ukrainian part of the 'Black Sea initiative'", Lavrov told a briefing after attending a two-day G20 summit in New Delhi.

Lavrov said Russia welcomes UN Chief Antonio Guterres's efforts to sending proposals to revive the deal which expired in July.
