Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan held talks with senior Egyptian officials on Aug. 13 to strengthen bilateral ties and discuss expanding regional cooperation, days after Türkiye, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan established a new defense pact.
Fidan and his Egyptian counterpart, Badr Abdelatty, co-chaired the second meeting of the Joint Planning Group in the Mediterranean resort city of Al Alamein.
The talks were expected to focus on implementing decisions reached at a meeting of the two countries’ High-Level Strategic Council in February, as well as preparations for future agreements, according to Turkish sources.
