Egyptian leader arrives in Türkiye in bid to advance bilateral ties

Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi was welcomed by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in the capital Ankara on Wednesday. This is el-Sissi’s first visit as president to Türkiye.

Erdoğan was received at the airport by el-Sissi during his visit to Cairo in February. Turkish president reciprocated the move and welcomed him at the Esenboğa Airport. Two men later headed to presidential complex in the same vehicle. Erdoğan and el-Sissi saluted honor guards at the presidential complex.

“Today’s visit and President Erdoğan’s previous visit to Cairo reflect the will to initiate a new friendship and cooperation between the two countries,” el-Sissi said in his first message during his visit to Türkiye as quoted by Turkish media outlets.

Ankara and Cairo are expected to sign new cooperation deals during el-Sissi’s visit that will further mend ties that was deteriorated about a decade ago.
