The Egyptian official source added that "the Egyptian and Turkish diplomatic missions exist at the charge d'affaires level, and they communicate with the accrediting country in accordance with established diplomatic norms."

The source emphasized that upgrading the level of the relationship between the two countries requires taking into account the legal and diplomatic frameworks that govern relations between countries on the basis of respecting the principle of sovereignty and the requirements of Arab national security.

The source added that Egypt expects any country that aspires to establish normal relations with it to abide by the rules of international law and the principles of good neighborliness and to stop attempts to interfere in the internal affairs of the region.

 Earlier, Turkish Foreign Minister Cavusoglu said, "We have contacts with Egypt at the level of intelligence or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." The Turkish Foreign Minister said that the resumption of the relationship will take place in small steps, according to a specific strategy.
