Ambassador Ahmed Fahmy, the official spokesman for the Presidency of the Republic, said that President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi's historic visit to Turkey represents a new milestone in strengthening relations between the two countries, building on President Erdogan's historic visit to Egypt last February, and establishing a new phase of friendship and joint cooperation between the two countries, whether bilaterally or at the regional level, which is witnessing great challenges that require consultation and coordination between the two countries.

President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi headed to Ankara today, Wednesday, on an official visit to the Republic of Turkey, in response to an invitation extended by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
