Following high-level talks in Riyadh, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has traveled to Cairo for a key strategic council meeting with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. The visit aims to strengthen bilateral cooperation, with discussions expected to focus on economic partnerships and the ongoing crisis in Palestine.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has arrived in Cairo, marking the Egyptian leg of his pivotal two-nation regional tour aimed at deepening Türkiye's diplomatic and economic partnerships. The visit, conducted at the invitation of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, centers on co-chairing a major bilateral strategic council.

From Riyadh to Cairo: A Diplomatic Continuum

The arrival in Egypt follows a day of significant discussions in Saudi Arabia, where President Erdoğan met with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Accompanied by a high-level delegation including First Lady Emine Erdoğan and key ministers, the Turkish leader's itinerary underscores a concerted effort to enhance Türkiye's strategic footprint across the Middle East.

Agenda: Strategic Council and Business Forum

The core diplomatic event in Cairo is the second meeting of the Türkiye-Egypt High-Level Strategic Cooperation Council. This mechanism is designed to structure and elevate the multifaceted relationship between the two regional powers. Alongside political talks, President Erdoğan is scheduled to participate in a Türkiye-Egypt Business Forum, highlighting the importance of strengthening commercial and investment links.

Focus on Bilateral and Regional Issues

Officials indicate the leaders' discussions will address a broad range of bilateral issues with the goal of expanding cooperation. A central topic will be regional developments, particularly the humanitarian and political crisis in Palestine, where both nations share significant concerns. The meetings represent a continued normalization and deepening of ties between Türkiye and Egypt following a period of diplomatic recalibration.
