Following their meeting in Ankara on Thursday, Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry alongside his Turkish counterpart Mevlut Cavusoglu confirmed to reporters that both nations will announce the reappointment of ambassadors  "in the upcoming period" and vowed to work more closely on Libya. 

Both diplomats also announced that a potential meeting between Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi is in the works. 

"You (journalists) often ask me 'when will you appoint ambassadors again?'" Cavusoglu said, adding: "We have discussed this issue today and we are taking concrete steps to raise the level of representation to the level of ambassador."

Ambassadors of both countries were withdrawn after President Mohammed Morsi was ousted by the Egyptian military in 2013. Morsi was brought up with the Muslim Brotherhood group, which Egypt designated as a terrorist group and which Turkey supported. 

After the tension build-up, Erdogan and al-Sisi were seen shaking hands during the World Cup in Qatar back in November, which was also part of Turkey's attempt to fortify ties with the region.

Then in March this year, Turkey and Egypt agreed to expand their diplomatic ties after meeting in Cairo for the first time in 11 years. 

Libya was another common negotiation topic that both nations decided to cooperate on, considering that they side with opposing parties, Cavusoglu said: "We will cooperate more closely regarding Libya from now on. In our meeting today, we (saw) that our views are not essentially very different but that we think differently on some methods."

Shoukry further continued that they will conduct joint efforts to hold elections in Libya and incorporate training and reinforce a joint military between forces in the east and west of Libya.

In their last meeting in March, Cavusoglu stated: "We agree that we are not rivals in Libya and that we should work together for the stability of Libya. We will intensify our consultations on this issue as well." 

During their talk yesterday, Shoukry urged Turkey to withdraw its troops from Syria.

"I said that Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity should be preserved. And I said that foreign powers should be withdrawn from Syrian territory."

Cavusoglu claimed that Turkey’s military interference in Syria was needed to fight "terrorism".

"We must make sure that there is no threat to us from there," he said.
