Cairo: Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan is set to visit Egypt on Saturday and meet with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi. Fidan will discuss bilateral issues and regional developments, with emphasis on the situation in Gaza Strip which has been subjected to a genocide by the Israeli entity over the past 22 months, the Turkish foreign ministry sources said on Friday.
According to Kuwait News Agency, Fidan's visit will also focus on the latest developments in the ongoing ceasefire negotiations between Hamas and Israel, mediated by Egypt, Qatar, and the US. The Turkish minister is expected to emphasize that Israel's recent actions aiming to annex Gaza and undermine the two-state solution represent a significant obstacle to regional peace and stability.
The outcomes of the International Conference on Palestine, held in New York from July 28-30 with Turkey's participation, will also be reviewed. The talks will explore opportunities for both countries to contribute to stability across North and East Africa and the Sahel region, with a particular focus on Libya, Sudan, and Somalia.
Additionally, the discussions will cover the multidimensional cooperation between Turkey and Egypt. During his latest visit to Cairo on March 23, the Turkish minister attended a meeting of the OIC-Arab League Gaza Contact Group.
