The Turkish Foreign Minister will visit Cairo tomorrow, Saturday, in a further sign that Turkish-Egyptian relations are thawing a decade after diplomatic ties between the two countries were severed over the ouster of then-Egyptian president and Ankara ally Mohamed Morsi.

His visit Mevlut Cavusoglu it will mark the first time Turkey has sent its top diplomat there since Egypt’s armed forces chief and current president Abdel Fattah al-Sisi led the ouster of Morsi in July 2013.

The visit comes two weeks after Cavusoglu’s Egyptian counterpart, Sameh Soukry, visited Turkey to express his country’s solidarity following major earthquakes that killed more than 50,000 people in Turkey and Syria.

“All aspects of our bilateral relations will be discussed and views will be exchanged on regional and international issues,” announced the Turkish Foreign Ministry. The visit was announced at the same time by the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Morsi, who was a prominent figure in the Muslim Brotherhood and died in 2019, was backed by Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan and his Islamist-rooted AKP party.

But there have been indications of a rapprochement between Turkey and Egypt. Sisi and Erdogan shook hands during the FIFA World Cup held in Qatar. Also after last month’s deadly earthquakes, Sisi and Erdogan spoke by phone, and Egyptian Foreign Minister Shoukry visited Turkey on February 27 – also for the first time in a decade.

After visiting earthquake-hit areas, Cavusoglu said he might visit Egypt soon and that Erdogan and Sisi could meet afterwards “either in Turkey or in Egypt.”

In another sign of normalization, Cavusoglu said in November that Turkey could once again appoint its ambassador to Cairo “within the coming months.”
