Egypt President visits Turkiye

Turkish President Erdogan has called for deeper Turkey-Egypt ties after talks with his Egyptian counterpart Abdel 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, defense, health, energy, and environmental matters.
