Two days of high-level talks aimed at normalizing relations between Turkey and Egypt have ended without a breakthrough, but were praised by the regional heavyweights in a joint statement as “frank and in-depth.”
The talks in Cairo “addressed bilateral issues as well as a number of regional issues, in particular the situation in Libya, Syria, Iraq, and the need to achieve peace and security in the Eastern Mediterranean region,” the two countries said in a statement.
