— Turkiye and Egypt may mutually re-appoint ambassadors in the "coming months," in a major step towards the restoration of full-fledged diplomatic relations, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said on Monday. "Political consultations between deputy ministers could be rescheduled soon, and an ambassador might be appointed in the coming months," Cavusoglu told the press. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan shook hands with his Egyptian counterpart Abdulfattah Al-Sisi on the sidelines of the World Cup in Qatar earlier this month, an event that could set in motion a thaw in bilateral relations after years of strained ties. — Agencies
