Turkey and Egypt are deepening defense-industry cooperation after Egypt’s defense minister visited Ankara—the first such visit in nearly 13 years. The trip marks a thaw in high-level military contacts.
Defense-industry ties can include joint production, procurement and technology exchange. A ministerial visit after more than a decade without one signals a political opening for those talks.
The cited brief flagged the nearly 13-year gap and the cooperation theme. It did not announce a specific weapons contract signed during the visit.
