President Tayyip Erdogan says that Turkey wants to deepen its ties with Egypt on natural gas and nuclear energy, after talks with his Egyptian counterpart Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi in Ankara.
Speaking at a joint press conference with Sissi, Erdogan says the two countries reaffirmed their will to improve relations in every area, including trade, defense, health, energy and environmental matters. Ministers from both countries signed a series of agreements ahead of the leaders’ statements, as the sides sought to thaw relations after years of bubbling tensions.
