Türkish foreign minister, Mevlut Cavusoglu met with his Egyptian counterpart, Sameh Shoukry on Saturday March 18, 2023 for talks in Cairo.
As reported on Friday, Cavusoglu is on a one-day official visit to Egypt upon the invitation of Egypt’s Foreign Minister.
“In the meetings, all aspects of our bilateral relations will be discussed and views on regional and international issues will be exchanged,” the Turkish Foreign Ministry said.
The two ministers are expected to hold a news conference after the meeting.
After the powerful Feb. 6 earthquakes in southern Türkiye, Shoukry visited the quake-hit Adana and Mersin provinces. His visit to Türkiye was the first by an Egyptian foreign minister in more than a decade.
Diplomatic relations between Türkiye and Egypt have been maintained at the level of charges d’affaires on both sides since Egypt’s 2013 military coup which overthrew late President Mohammed Morsi.
