President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan discussed their countries’ efforts to de-escalate regional tensions and advance diplomacy during talks in Cairo on Wednesday.
Speaking at a joint press conference, El-Sisi said Egypt and Türkiye share a clear convergence of views on several regional and global issues of mutual concern.
The discussions covered a wide range of files, including the ceasefire in Gaza, the crisis in Sudan, developments in Libya and Syria, the Ukraine crisis, as well as current tensions surrounding the Iranian nuclear file.
“I discussed with my brother, the president of Türkiye, the sincere and genuine efforts undertaken by Egypt and Türkiye to de-escalate tensions in the region, promote diplomatic solutions, and avert the specter of war—whether with regard to the Iranian nuclear file or the region as a whole,” El-Sisi said.
