President El-Sisi Heads to Ankara for An Official Visit to the Republic of Turkey
President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi heads on Wednesday 4/9/2024 to Ankara for an official visit to the Republic of Turkey at an invitation by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Spokesman for the Presidency, Ambassador Ahmed Fahmy, said President El-Sisi’s historic visit to the Republic of Turkey represents a new milestone on the path of strengthening relations between the two countries.
He added that the visit builds upon the historic visit by President Erdogan to Egypt last February and ushers-in a new phase in the friendship and joint cooperation between the two countries, both bilaterally and at the level of the region, which is encountering substantial challenges that necessitate consultations and coordination between the two countries.
During the visit, President El-Sisi is expected to hold in-depth talks with President Erdogan. The two Presidents will also co-chair the first meeting of the High-level Strategic Cooperation Coun
cil between Egypt and Turkey.
The council meeting is scheduled to explore ways to promote bilateral relations across an array of fields, in addition to exchanging views on regional and international issues of joint interest. Those include primarily efforts to achieve a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, end the dire humanitarian catastrophe in the sector, and de-escalate tensions in the Middle East.
President El-Sisi and Turkish President Erdogan will also witness the signing of a multitude of Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) between the two countries’ governments in a broad range of cooperation domains.
