More than 100 Egyptian journalists attended the iftar, and Turkish doner and baklava were served to the guests. In his address to journalists at the iftar, Ambassador Salih Mutlu Şen spoke about the Turkish doner, explaining that it was first introduced for commercial consumption in Istanbul at the beginning of the 20th century. He explained that "doner has become a staple fast food globally, especially in Germany, Egypt, and around the world." He pointed out that doner is known as "shawarma" in Arab countries, but in a different way. He explained that the words "doner" and "shawarma" mean the same thing in Turkish: something that revolves around itself. He stated that the embassy will continue its activities to promote Turkish cuisine and Turkish breakfast as part of the centenary celebrations of the establishment of relations. He explained that the Anatolian Fireworks Troupe is scheduled to perform a special show in front of the Pyramids as part of the centenary celebrations, and that contacts with the Egyptian Ministry of Culture on this matter are ongoing.

Ambassador Salih Mutlu Şen emphasized that Turkish-Egyptian relations have witnessed rapid progress over the past year, best demonstrated by the high-level exchange of visits. He added that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has visited only one country twice in 2024, namely Egypt. On the other hand, he emphasized that Azerbaijan's admission to the G8 at the G8 meeting held in Egypt's New Administrative Capital on December 19, chaired by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, was a joint outcome between Turkey and Egypt. He stated that the G8 seeks cooperation between Islamic countries, especially those developing in the fields of economy and industry. He emphasized that technological and industrial cooperation between Turkey and Egypt will continue to strengthen and deepen with the contribution of the private sector. He pointed out that Turkish companies' interest in the Suez Canal Economic Zone is growing, and that in the Qantara West area alone, there are four factories under construction or nearing completion, valued at over $200 million. The Ambassador stated that Ramadan has become a month of joy, celebrated with enthusiasm in both Egypt and Turkey throughout the month, with families and children participating. He said that one of the things he most admired about Egypt was the sincere participation of all segments of the Egyptian people in Ramadan, and their presence together during all visits and holidays. He also noted that Ramadan is a month of cooperation and solidarity, and said that he, personally and as an embassy, ​​is fulfilling our duty, both as a humanitarian and Islamic duty, in this regard. He explained that he will host an iftar for 500 Egyptian families in a few days and will distribute Eidiya (money gifts) to children on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr. The ambassador explained that there is very close consultation and communication between Turkey and Egypt on regional issues, especially Libya, Syria, Sudan, and Palestine, and that there may be high-level visits and meetings involving Turkey, Egypt, and other regional countries on regional issues in the coming days.
