Egypt's Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry will attend this week's Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) summit in Istanbul, according to local media reports.
Shoukry will head an Egyptian delegation at the summit, which began on Sunday and will conclude on Friday, according to unsourced reports in local media. Shoukry will attend the final two days of the meeting.
Relations between Ankara and Cairo have been frosty since the 2013 ouster of Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi, an ally of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The Egyptian and the Turkish presidents have not held talks since Sisi came to power in June 2014.
Egypt will hand over the term presidency of the OIC to Turkey at the summit.
The deputy foreign minister for multilateral affairs, Ambassador Hisham Badr, is expected to deliver a speech at a summit ministerial meeting.
Established in 1969, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) is the second largest inter-governmental organisation after the United Nations, with 57 member states spread over four continents.
The summit is expected to discuss the latest developments taking place in Syria, Libya, Palestine and Yemen as well as the means to combat terrorism and the issue of Islamophobia.
