Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan will visit Egypt Saturday for high-level talks focusing on bilateral relations and regional developments, according to Foreign Ministry sources.

Minister Fidan is expected to be received by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el‑Sissi during the visit.

Gaza ceasefire negotiations to be discussed

The meetings will include exchanges of views on bilateral issues and regional developments, with concrete steps to further develop the two countries' multidimensional cooperation in all areas to be consulted.

Discussions will focus on assessments of the current status of ceasefire negotiations between Hamas and Israel, mediated by Egypt, Qatar and the United States.

The talks will address joint efforts to end the genocide in Gaza and ensure uninterrupted delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza. The meetings will emphasize that Israel's actions targeting the two-state solution and recent steps toward annexing Gaza constitute the biggest obstacle to regional peace and stability.
