U.N., Jul 21 (PRIME) -- U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres plans to visit Turkey soon in the framework of an earlier plan to sign a grain deal this week, several sources in the U.N. told PRIME Thursday.

"The U.N. Secretary General will soon head to Turkey. This (the signing of an agreement) must take place this week. This was the goal," one of the sources said.
