Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan highlighted Friday the strong commitment of Türkiye and Egypt to deepen their bilateral and regional relations.

Speaking at a joint press conference with Kosovo's Foreign Minister Donika Gervalla-Schwarz in Pristina, Fidan emphasized the mutual desire to unlock the full potential of the partnership between the two countries.

"Egypt and Türkiye have a strong will to realize the full potential of both countries, both in bilateral relations and regional affairs," Fidan said in response to a reporter's question.

He added that formalizing the relationship "within a more systematic framework" could serve as a model for the region.

Fidan's remarks follow Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi's visit to the Turkish capital Ankara on Wednesday.
