Turkish Foreign Minister: The Turkish Deputy Foreign Minister-level delegation will be invited to visit Egypt in early May

Turkey’s semi-official Anadolu news agency reported on April 15 local time that Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu said that at the invitation of Egypt, a delegation of Turkish Deputy Foreign Ministers will visit Egypt in early May.

Just last month, Turkey revealed that Turkey and Egypt had “engaged at the intelligence and foreign ministry levels, and diplomatic contacts have begun”.

But Egyptain official sources later responded through Egypt’s state news agency, the Middle East News Agency, saying there was no indication that “diplomatic contacts between the two countries have resumed.”

Relations between Turkey and Egypt deteriorated in 2013 when Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, who has close ties to Turkey, was ousted, and the two countries announced the expulsion of each other’s ambassadors, reducing diplomatic relations to the charge d’affaires level.
