Turkey announces 'Friendship Sea' naval exercise with Egypt next month

Türkiye ·

The joint naval exercise Friendship Sea 2026 with Egypt is set for 4 to 9 November. It will go ahead despite an ongoing dispute between Turkey and Egypt over maritime boundary demarcation with Libya.

Turkey and Egypt have competed over maritime boundaries in the eastern Mediterranean, and Egypt and Greece object to a 2019 Turkish maritime accord with Libya's Tripoli-based government.
