Egypt and Turkey hold first high-level talks in a decade.

Egypt and Turkey have held their first diplomatic talks in a decade, with both countries agreeing to upgrade their diplomatic relations to ambassador level "as soon as possible". Ties between the two countries were strained after the removal of Mohamed Morsi, an ally of Ankara, in 2013. The two countries have also been at odds over Libya and maritime borders in the Eastern Mediterranean. While there is a promise of restoring ties, relations on a diplomatic level are still quite low, with the countries' opposing positions on Libya and the Eastern Mediterranean remaining the main sticking points.
