Egypt, Turkey upgrade diplomatic relations to ambassador level

 

Egypt has nominated Amr Al-Hammamy as its ambassador to Ankara, while Turkey has nominated Salih Mutlu Şen as its ambassador to Cairo.

 

This move comes as a result of the joint decision made by the two countries' leaders to improve their diplomatic relations.

 

The aim of this step is to establish normal relations between the two countries once again, and to demonstrate their shared determination to work towards enhancing their bilateral relations for the benefit of the Egyptian and Turkish people.

 

The decision to raise diplomatic relations between Egypt and Turkey is a significant development, given their recent history of strained relations. The move is expected to pave the way for increased cooperation between the two countries in various fields, including trade, tourism, and security, among others. 

 

The decision is also likely to have a positive impact on the wider region, as it may help to reduce tensions and promote stability in the Middle East.

 

Arab League Secretary General Ahmed Abul Gheit welcomed upgrading diplomatic ties between Egypt and Turkey.

The two countries exchanged ambassadors in order to restore normal diplomatic relations in line with a decision by their presidents, a statement by the Foreign Ministry said.

Amr el Hamami was named Egypt's ambassador in Ankara. Turkey nominated Salih Mutlu Sen for the top diplomatic post in Cairo.
