Egypt’s foreign minister oversees aid delivery to Turkey after Syria visit
Egypt’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Sameh Shoukry traveled to Turkey on Monday to meet with Turkish foreign minister Mevlut Cavusoglu to provide relief for the victims of a devastating earthquake that hit the country earlier this month.
Shoukry arrived at the Turkish port of Mersin with Cavusoglu, where the two oversaw the delivery of the sixth shipment of aid provided by Egypt to Ankara.
Turkey and Egypt will continue to work together to improve relations between their two countries, Turkish foreign minister Cavusoglu said on Monday during a joint conference with his Egyptian counterpart.
Shoukry’s visit to Turkey comes after the foreign minister traveled to Damascus for the first time in nearly a decade.
