President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has maintained a busy diplomatic schedule in 2024, engaging in intensive international contacts across 17 countries and hosting leaders from 18 nations in Türkiye.

A significant portion of Erdoğan's efforts focused on resolving the crisis in the Palestinian territories and addressing other global and regional issues.

Egypt this week passed its first bill to grant asylum to migrants, which has sparked opposition from human rights advocates who fear security concerns will override migrant protection.

International organizations tasked to produce peace and security fail to fulfill their responsibilities in the face increasing conflict and war, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has said, calling on D-8 members to stand with the people of Syria as the country is building a new future after the collapse of Assad regime.

The foreign ministers will review preparations for the leaders' summit to be hosted by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi on Dec. 19.

Egypt's trade relations with Türkiye are "very robust and balanced," reflecting a healthy economic partnership between the two countries, says Egyptian Investment and Foreign Trade Minister Hassan El-Khatib.

Egypt and Türkiye "have highly diversified exports, which strengthen their trade relationship," Khatib told state-run Anadolu Agency.
