Egypt President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi meets Turkish leader in Ankara amid a warming in ties between the regional powers.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has called for deeper Turkey-Egypt ties after talks with his Egyptian counterpart Abdel Fattah el-Sisi in Ankara.
El-Sisi met Erdogan in the Turkish capital on Wednesday, the first such presidential visit in 12 years, amid a warming of long-frozen relations between the regional powers.
Speaking at a joint press conference with el-Sisi, Erdogan said the two countries had reaffirmed their will to improve relations in every area, including trade, defence, health, energy, and environmental matters.
“My visit to Turkey paves the way for a new phase in economic and trade relations,” el-Sisi said. “We witnessed an increase in communication between two nations in recent years.”
