Saudi Arabia welcomed on Tuesday the appointment of ambassadors between Egypt and Türkiye.

In a statement, the Saudi Foreign Ministry said the move will positively impact security and peace on the regional and international levels and serve mutual interests.

Egypt and Türkiye appointed ambassadors to each other's capitals for the first time in a decade to restore normal diplomatic relations, their foreign ministries announced earlier on Tuesday.

Consultations between senior foreign ministry officials in Ankara and Cairo began in 2021 as Türkiye sought better ties with Egypt.

Normalization between Ankara and Cairo accelerated after Egypt's President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi and his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan shook hands in Doha at the World Cup in 2022.

Sisi and Erdogan agreed to exchange ambassadors in May.

Amr Elhamamy will become Egypt's ambassador in Ankara while Türkiye nominated Salih Mutlu Sen to become its ambassador in Cairo, the Egyptian foreign ministry said.
