Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Monday there is no reason for high-level talks with Egypt not to take place, as its efforts to mend ties with Cairo remain stagnant.
"Talks on the lower levels are continuing. It is not out of the question for this to happen on higher levels, so long as we understand each other," Erdogan told state broadcaster TRT Haber in an interview, adding that the two countries should avoid making statements "hurting" one another.
Turkey launched a charm offensive in 2020 to repair ties with regional countries, making overtures to Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Israel and Saudi Arabia.
Efforts with Cairo have so far yielded little progress.
