Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Sunday called his new Egyptian counterpart Badr Abdelatty to wish him success on assuming the role, diplomatic sources said.

Abdelatty, 58, was sworn in as Egypt’s new foreign minister after a cabinet reshuffle earlier this month. He succeeded Sameh Shoukry.
