CAIRO – With no clear progress, Egyptian and Turkish officials concluded Thursday two days of talks in Cairo aimed at resetting ties between the two regional powers. In a joint statement, both sides vowed to evaluate the outcome of their first round of consultations before agreeing on the next move.
The talks were chaired by Hamdi Loza, Egypt’s deputy foreign minister and his Turkish counterpart Sedat Onal. Diplomats from both countries said they had discussed bilateral relations and several regional issues, including the situation in Libya, Syria, Iraq and the need to achieve peace and security in the eastern Mediterranean region. They hailed the deliberations as “frank” and “in-depth.”
