Egyptian president holds talks with Turkish FM in Cairo

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan met with Egyptian President Fattah el-Sissi on Monday in Cairo.

Fidan's visit to Egypt began on Sunday at the invitation of Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty and included stops at Egypt's al-Arish port, the Rafah border crossing, and the Egyptian Red Crescent Logistics Center.

The Turkish minister’s visit aims to pave the way for el-Sissi’s expected visit to Ankara after President Erdogan made a similar trip to Cairo in February to fully normalize strained relations between the two countries.
