Egypt is seeing promising progress in relations with Turkey, with recent signs pointing to positive developments in the negotiations between the two countries.
“There is some progress in relations with Turkey that we hope to build on,” Egypt’s Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry said in a phone interview during El-Hekaya TV show broadcast on MBC Masr on Oct. 1 and hosted by Egyptian talk show host Amr Adib.
Shoukry’s statements come in light of two rounds of exploratory talks in the past months between representatives of Egypt and Turkey as part of efforts to mend ties between the two countries.
In his TV interview, Shoukry said the Sept. 7 meeting in Ankara focused on bilateral relations.
