Türkiye and Egypt have agreed to deepen coordination on regional crises, with Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan saying bilateral ties are at an “excellent level” under the leadership of the two countries’ presidents.
Speaking alongside his Egyptian counterpart Badr Abdelatty after talks in the coastal city of El Alamein on Thursday, Fidan said Ankara and Cairo share a common approach on several key regional issues, including Gaza and Libya.
Fidan said Türkiye and Egypt agreed on the need to take “more serious measures” regarding the situation in Gaza, without providing further details.
The two countries have maintained close consultations over the conflict and humanitarian situation in the Palestinian enclave, while calling for stronger international efforts to address the crisis.
Abdelatty said the two countries face numerous challenges in the region and should remain in constant consultation.
“We have a political will to advance our relations,” he said, adding that Ankara and Cairo also seek to strengthen coordination between their private sectors.
Shared positions on Libya, Syria and Sudan
Fidan said Türkiye and Egypt share the “same position” on Libya’s unity, territorial integrity, sovereignty and indivisibility.
Abdelatty also said Cairo and Ankara oppose Israeli attacks on Syria’s sovereignty and condemned such actions.
On Sudan, Abdelatty said Egypt and Türkiye are fully aligned in supporting the country’s territorial integrity and firmly rejecting any attempt to divide it.
He described Türkiye-Egypt ties as being built on “strong foundations,” saying closer coordination between the two countries could serve as an example for the wider world.
