KYIV - Ukrainian Agrarian Policy and Food Minister Mykola Solskyi and his Polish counterpart Robert Telus held a phone conversation to discuss Ukraine's grain exports issue, the Ukrainian government press service said Thursday.

The ministers exchanged views on Ukraine's proposal to resolve the grain dispute between the two sides and agreed to find a solution that would take into account the interests of both countries. They also agreed that the Polish side would study Ukraine's export plan and prepare its proposals.

The next round of talks between the two sides is set to take place in the coming days.

Earlier in the day, the government-run Ukrinform news agency reported that Ukraine and Slovakia reached an arrangement on establishing a licensing system for Ukraine's agricultural products instead of extending the latter's export ban.
