Turkish industry and trade minister Minister Nihat Ergün said that the visa requirement between his country and Egypt must be ended.

Turkey has recently lifted visa restrictions with Lebanon, Libya, Syria, Sudan and Albania. Ergün said Turkey and Egypt shared deep historical and cultural relations and that the geography the two countries are situated on presents many opportunities.

Ergün said increasing the number of flights between Turkey and Egypt would facilitate business and tourism and that ending the visa requirement would contribute to the development of investments and tourism.
