Turkey's Chief of General Staff visited Cairo over the weekend as a guest of Egyptian Chief of Staff, the two militaries announced, the latest milestone in rapidly expanding defense cooperation between Ankara and Cairo since their rapprochement. No details of the agenda have been released, but the visit follows a joint air exercise earlier this month — the first in 13 years — and a joint naval drill. The deepening ties have prompted Washington to seek clarifications from both capitals, as The Zioneer previously reported. The meeting signals that defense collaboration is moving beyond one-off exercises toward institutional coordination at the highest command level. It remains unclear whether specific arms deals or joint operational planning were discussed.
