Turkey and Egypt Restore Diplomatic Ties After Years of Tension

Turkey and Egypt have upgraded diplomatic relations to the ambassador level.
Egypt and Turkey have appointed ambassadors to each other's capitals for the first time in a decade to restore normal diplomatic relations.
Normalization between Ankara and Cairo accelerated after Egypt's President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and his Turkish counterpart Tayyip Erdogan shook hands in Doha at the World Cup in 2022.
The two countries have not had ambassadors since 2013 when Egypt expelled Turkey's ambassador and accused Ankara of backing organizations bent on undermining the country.
The reconciliation between Egypt and Turkey is part of Turkey's efforts to build bridges with countries in the region and end its international isolation.
