Erdogan is in Egypt and holds his first meeting with Sissi after the fall of Assad
ANKARA Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi met on Thursday to discuss Syria, Gaza and bilateral relations in their first meeting since the fall of the Syrian regime.
During their meeting on the sidelines of the Economic Cooperation Organization D-8 summit in Cairo, Erdogan pledged Turkey's continued support for Syrian unity and the country's reconstruction after 13 years of civil war. Unlike Turkey, the main supporter of the Syrian rebels who ousted Bashar al-Assad from power on December 8, the Egyptian government has long favored Assad over the Islamist-leaning opposition. Assad's fall has raised concerns in Cairo about a possible resurgence of the Muslim Brotherhood, ousted from power in 2013.
According to the Turkish statement on the meeting, “President Erdogan said that the Syrian people have paid a heavy price over the past 13 years, emphasizing that Syrians will determine their own future.”
He stressed the importance of Syria's political unity and territorial integrity and reaffirmed Turkey's continued support for Syria's reconstruction and internal reconciliation, the statement read.
In Gaza, Erdogan called for enhanced coordination between the two countries to ensure the seamless delivery of humanitarian aid, stressing the crucial need for an immediate, permanent and lasting ceasefire.
This is Erdogan's second trip to Egypt this year, following his historic visit in February, which ended more than a decade of tense relations between countries with opposing views on the Muslim Brotherhood.
After Sisi ousted Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood-led government, Erdogan said he would never shake his hand, calling him a “brutal killer.”
However, the last two years have seen a thaw in relations between Cairo and Ankara. The two countries exchanged ambassadors in July 2023 and Sissi made his first-ever visit to Türkiye in September. Most recently, the two leaders spoke face to face in November, on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Brazil.
Sisi and Erdogan also discussed deepening bilateral relations during their meeting on Thursday, with Erdogan reiterating the common goal of increasing the two countries' trade volume to $15 billion from the current $10 billion.
Besides Sissi, Erdogan also met his Iranian counterpart, Masoud Pezeshkian, on the sidelines of the summit.
It was the first meeting between the two leaders since the fall of the Syrian regime supported by Iran and Russia, after a lightning offensive by a coalition of Syrian rebel groups, including the Syrian National Army, supported by Turkey.
“Stabilization of Syria would serve the stability and security of the entire region, and a rapid recovery of Syria could only be achieved with the contribution of all regional and international actors,” Erdogan told Pezeshkian during the meeting, according to a press release from the Turkish presidency.
This article has been updated since its initial publication to include the meeting between Erdogan and Pezeshkian.
