Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is scheduled to pay official visits to Saudi Arabia and Egypt to bolster regional ties and discuss strategic cooperation.
According to the Operative Information Center-OMM, Burhanettin Duran, the Head of Communications of the Presidency of the Republic of Türkiye, announced that the Turkish leader will first travel to Riyadh at the invitation of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. During the visit, the leaders will hold bilateral meetings to discuss steps for deepening cooperation between Türkiye and Saudi Arabia, as well as broader regional and global processes.
On February 4, President Erdogan will proceed to Cairo following an invitation from Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. In the Egyptian capital, the two leaders will co-chair the second meeting of the Türkiye-Egypt High-Level Strategic Cooperation Council. The discussions are expected to cover bilateral relations and an exchange of views on international and regional developments, with a particular focus on the Palestinian issue. The visit will also include the president's participation in the Türkiye-Egypt Business Forum.
These high-level visits signify a continued effort by Türkiye to normalize and strengthen diplomatic and economic relations with key regional powers in the Middle East. The rapprochement between Ankara, Riyadh, and Cairo is viewed as a critical component for regional stability and economic integration. Azerbaijan, as a strategic ally of Türkiye, closely monitors these diplomatic developments, which contribute to the overall security and cooperation framework within the broader geography encompassing the Middle East and the South Caucasus.
