During his visit, President Erdogan is expected to engage in discussions with Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi on a wide range of topics, including bilateral and regional issues such as trade, energy, and security. This meeting is a testament to the progress made in strengthening diplomatic relations between the two countries.

The diplomatic rift between Turkey and Egypt began in the aftermath of the 2013 ouster of Egypt’s late Muslim Brotherhood rule. However, recent years have witnessed a significant thaw in relations. In November 2022, Presidents El-Sisi and Erdogan briefly met during the World Cup in Qatar and expressed their commitment to enhancing ties, reaffirming their deep historical connections.

As Turkey and Egypt continue to work on normalizing their relations, the agreement to supply combat drones underscores the growing cooperation between the two nations in various fields, ultimately contributing to regional stability and security.
