Egypt, Turkey Strengthen Ties With New Cooperation Agreements
Turkey and Egypt are moving forward with plans to strengthen their relationship, according to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. His comments came during a joint press conference with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, who made his first official visit to Ankara in 12 years on Wednesday. The visit marks a significant step toward mending ties that were strained for over a decade.
El-Sisi expressed optimism that the visit would lead to a new era of cooperation between the two nations. During the visit, the leaders co-chaired the first meeting of the High-Level Strategic Cooperation Council, where officials from both countries signed several agreements aimed at boosting collaboration.

We see it.
We report with just one agenda: the truth.
Erdoğan emphasized the goal of increasing bilateral trade to $15 billion in the next five years, with cooperation spanning multiple sectors including defense, health, and energy. The two nations have been working to normalize relations, which were deeply affected by the ousting of former Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi and the subsequent political fallout.
Since 2020, diplomatic efforts have accelerated, and both countries reappointed ambassadors last year. Analysts believe this renewed relationship will not only boost economic ties but also increase cooperation on regional issues.
