Ankara / Cairo — Türkiye and Egypt have set a new precedent for military cooperation after more than a decade of strained ties. The two nations have launched five-day joint naval exercises in the Mediterranean Sea, the first such drills in 13 years, marking what is being described as a historic and decisive development in regional geopolitics.
Reports indicate that modern naval fleets and air units from both countries are participating in the exercises. The aim is to ensure maritime security, strengthen mutual military cooperation, and send a clear message against external pressures and expansionist ambitions in the region.
Experts believe that the Türkiye–Egypt military rapprochement will create a new balance of power in the region, directly impacting the evolving dynamics of the Middle East and the Mediterranean. The move is seen as a milestone not only for regional peace and stability but also for the protection of energy and trade routes.
Political observers note that the growing cooperation between the two nations signals a shift in which major regional powers are willing to set aside past differences and form new alliances for shared interests.
