Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan will visit Egypt on Aug. 13-14 for high-level talks aimed at deepening bilateral cooperation and coordinating positions on regional crises, including Gaza, Syria, Libya and Sudan, Foreign Ministry sources said Wednesday.
During the visit, Fidan and Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty are expected to co-chair the second meeting of the Türkiye-Egypt Joint Planning Group, which oversees preparations for meetings of the countries’ High-Level Strategic Cooperation Council.
The two sides are also expected to discuss preparations for the council’s third meeting, planned to be held in Türkiye in 2028.
Fidan is expected to be received by Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi and hold separate talks with other senior Egyptian officials, the sources said.
The discussions are expected to cover political, economic, commercial and military relations as Ankara and Cairo seek to build on a rapprochement that has accelerated in recent years.
