Subsequently, President Erdogan will journey to Egypt to discuss measures aimed at fostering stronger ties between Türkiye and Egypt, with a particular focus on revitalizing key bilateral cooperation mechanisms.

The agenda for these meetings includes an exchange of perspectives on prevailing global and regional challenges, with specific attention given to recent developments, such as the Israeli attacks on Gaza and other occupied Palestinian territories.

Furthermore, Türkiye extends heartfelt condolences to the UAE, Somalia, and Bahrain following a tragic terrorist attack at a military training camp in Mogadishu, Somalia’s capital.
