The two ministers underlined the importance of reviving relations between the two countries and respecting the political choices of each other, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
"The two ministers also discussed chances for cooperation between Egypt and Tunisia as well as common challenges," the ministry said.
Hamdi is currently in Cairo to attend a meeting of Arab foreign ministers at the headquarters of the Arab League.
Egyptian-Tunisian relations have strained after Tunisian President Moncef Marzouki called for Morsi's release during a UN General Assembly speech in September.
In protest, Cairo recalled its ambassador from Tunisia for consultations.
Morsi, who was ousted by the military on July 3, is being tried on a wide range of charges along with a large number of Muslim Brotherhood leaders and ex-presidency officials.
Supporters of the deposed leaders denounce the charges as "politically motivated".
