During the meeting, a comprehensive review was conducted on how the conflict could affect essential supplies such as food, fuel, and gas. The government emphasized ensuring that citizens face no shortages or disruptions. Officials were directed to prepare short-term, medium-term, and long-term strategies to manage any emerging challenges. The discussion also included exploring alternative sources for fertilizers and identifying new import-export markets to reduce dependency on affected regions.
