Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry said that reducing tension between his country and Turkey is in the interest of the region. He plans to hold an official visit to Turkey on Thursday, at the invitation of his Turkish counterpart Mevlut Cavusoglu, and the visit will witness talks on bilateral relations and regional developments.
Shouky visited Turkey on February 27 in a message of solidarity following the devastating earthquake that struck southern Turkey, and Egypt has also sent humanitarian aid to earthquake victims.
