The Egyptian Foreign Minister, Samih Shukri, is set to arrive in Turkey today, April 13, for an official visit at the invitation of Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu. The visit is aimed at discussing bilateral relations and regional developments.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs highlighted that the two ministers will have meetings to discuss issues of mutual interest and to enhance cooperation in various areas. Leaders from both countries are expected to discuss ways to strengthen trade, defense and security, and counterterrorism efforts. Discussions about regional developments, especially in the Middle East and North Africa, are also likely to feature prominently in the meetings.
Minister Şukri’s last visit to Turkey was on February 27 when he visited to express his condolences and solidarity after the devastating earthquakes in Kahramanmaraş.
