On February 4, local time, Turkey's first minister, Hakan Fidan, said that Turkey would visit Egypt, and Turkey agreed to provide drones to Egypt. Since last year, Turkish-Egyptian relations have normalized after years of deterioration.

Turkey's ** Erdogan (data map) According to Reuters, Turkey**Recep Tayyip Erdogan is scheduled to visit Egypt on the 14th of this month to meet with Egypt's **Abdelfatah el-Sisi. This will be Erdogan's first visit to Egypt since Turkey and Egypt resumed diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level last year.

Fidan told Turkey that Erdogan would discuss bilateral relations and regional issues with Sisi, including energy, energy and security. "The normalization of our relations is important for Egypt to have certain technologies. We have reached an agreement to supply drones and other technologies to Egypt. Fidan said. He didn't elaborate, though.

In 2013, the political situation in Egypt was overthrown by the military forces led by Sisi, and relations between Egypt and Turkey deteriorated significantly. Morsi was born in the Muslim Brotherhood and had friendly relations with Erdogan, then Prime Minister of Turkey. Erdogan has repeatedly publicly criticized the Sisi camp in solidarity with Morsi. At the end of 2013, Egypt expelled the Turkish ambassador and recalled its own ambassador to Turkey, and Turkey responded with reciprocal measures.

Tensions between Erdogan and Sisi have continued since Erdogan and Sisi took office in 2014. In addition, Egypt and Turkey are deeply divided over issues such as the Libyan conflict and oil and gas development in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Since 2020, Turkey has repeatedly extended an olive branch to Egypt seeking to repair bilateral relations. The two countries began high-level diplomatic consultations in 2021. On July 4 last year, the two countries resumed diplomatic relations to the ambassadorial level and announced the exchange of ambassadors.
