Türkiye and Egypt have signed two letters of intent aimed at expanding military and defence industry cooperation during Egyptian Defence Minister Lt. Gen. Ashraf Salem Zaher’s official visit to Ankara.

The agreements were signed with Turkish Defence Minister Yaşar Güler and Haluk Görgün, head of Türkiye’s Defence Industry Agency, establishing frameworks for closer collaboration and the joint development of military capabilities.

Key developments:

  • Türkiye and Egypt signed agreements covering military and defence industry cooperation.
  • Senior military delegations held talks on expanding cooperation between both armed forces.
  • The scope of the agreements has not been publicly disclosed.
  • The move follows a series of joint exercises, including Golden Eagle 2026, reflecting steadily closer defence ties since the 2026 Military Framework Agreement.
