The parties reaffirmed their shared commitment to global food security. They also reviewed active partnership projects, emphasizing the strategic supply of Russian food products and the collaborative development of sustainable school feeding systems across key regions.

Special attention was given to future Russia-WFP cooperation amid global funding shortages and rising humanitarian needs. With Russia returning to the WFP Executive Board on January 1, 2027, both sides confirmed their readiness for constructive cooperation within this governing body to address critical global food supply issues.
