Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said Tuesday that his visit to Türkiye paves the way for a new phase in Egyptian-Turkish relations.
“My visit to Türkiye paves the way for a new phase in economic and trade relations,” al-Sisi said at a joint press conference with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
“We witnessed an increase in communication between two nations in recent years,” he added.
The Egyptian leader also welcomed rapprochement efforts between Türkiye and Syria “aimed at achieving a political solution and alleviating the suffering of the Syrian people in accordance with UN Security Council resolutions.”
He arrived in Ankara on Wednesday for an official visit upon Erdoğan’s invitation.
