Exercise Sea of Friendship 2026, hosted by Egypt with the participation of Turkish Naval Forces units, is continuing in Alexandria from November 4 to 9, the Turkish Defense Ministry announced.
As part of the exercise's distinguished visitors' day, Turkish Naval Forces Commander Admiral Ercüment Tatlıoğlu visited the Turkish Embassy in Cairo on November 6 and met with Ambassador Salih Mutlu Şen.
On November 7, Tatlıoğlu paid an official visit to Egyptian Naval Forces Commander Vice Admiral Mahmoud Adel Fawzi at the Alexandria Naval Base, where delegations from the two countries held talks. He also inspected the base.
The Turkish naval commander concluded his program by visiting the Turkish Martyrs' Cemetery in Alexandria, where he laid a wreath in their memory.
