The agreements were signed after bilateral discussions at Al-Ittihadiya Presidential Palace, marking the latest step in the rapprochement between the two regional powers after years of strained relations.
Among the agreements was a memorandum on defence cooperation, alongside an MoU between the Egyptian Drug Authority and its Turkish counterpart in the pharmaceuticals sector.
The two sides also signed agreements on plant quarantine cooperation and veterinary services, aimed at regulating agricultural and livestock exchanges between the two countries.
In the economic sphere, Egypt’s Ministry of Investment and Türkiye's Ministry of Trade signed a joint ministerial statement on boosting bilateral trade. A separate memorandum was concluded between Egypt’s Ministry of Social Solidarity and its Turkish counterpart on cooperation in social protection programmes.
An MoU was also signed between the Egyptian and Turkish ministries of youth and sports to expand cooperation in youth initiatives and sports programmes.
At the conclusion of the talks, El-Sisi and Erdoğan signed a joint statement establishing a High-Level Strategic Cooperation Council between Egypt and Türkiye, intended to provide an institutional framework for ongoing coordination.
Erdoğan arrived in Cairo earlier on Wednesday on an official visit at the head of a high-level delegation and was received by El-Sisi at the presidential palace.
Later in the day, the two presidents are scheduled to attend the closing session of the Egyptian–Turkish Business Forum, which includes representatives from business communities and economic institutions from both countries.
