Egypt, recognized as Africa’s strongest military, and Turkey, NATO’s second-largest military power and leading drone developer, have agreed to deepen their strategic cooperation to confront a series of explosive crises ranging from the gold-fueled war in Sudan to instability in the Golan Heights and the Strait of Hormuz that threaten regional stability

Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty and Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan met recently in New Alamein to solidify ties they described as being built on "solid foundations and a shared understanding".

This partnership aims to leverage the unique strengths of Egypt and Turkey to address conflicts ranging from East Africa to the heart of the Middle East.

Addressing the gold-fueled conflict in Sudan

Both nations expressed deep concern over the ongoing war in Sudan, a conflict frequently linked to the country's gold resources.
