Egypt and Türkiye resumed diplomatic relations to the ambassadorial level on the 4th and exchanged ambassadors. The Egyptian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on the 4th that Egypt and Türkiye have appointed ambassadors to each other's countries, which means that diplomatic relations between the two sides have returned to normal. The statement said that this also reflects the willingness of Egypt and Türkiye to work together to promote bilateral relations for the interests of the two peoples. The Turkish government issued a joint statement with the Egyptian government on the same day, saying that Türkiye and Egypt have restored their diplomatic relations to the ambassadorial level, and Türkiye has appointed ambassadors to Egypt. The normalization of diplomatic relations between Turkey and Egypt reflects that both countries are promoting the development of bilateral relations based on the interests of the people. After the resignation of former Egyptian President Morsi in 2013, the relationship between Egypt and Turkey deteriorated, and the two countries subsequently downgraded their diplomatic relations. Türkiye and Egypt will start consultations with high-level diplomats in 2021. On May 29 this year, Egyptian President Abdel Sisi and President of Turkey President Recep Tayyip Erdogan agreed to improve diplomatic relations between the two countries as soon as possible and send ambassadors to each other.
