Chad
Turkey

Chad–Turkey relations are the foreign relations between Chad and Turkey. Neither country had a resident embassy before a Turkish Embassy opened in N’Djamena on 1 March 2013, and a Chadian one in Ankara on 10 December 2014. [1] Turkey recognized the independence of Chad on August 11, 1960 and established diplomatic relations on January 27, 1960. [2]

Historical Relations

Turkey had long-standing cultural, ethnic and religious ties with Chad, especially with northern Chad. [3] Through the 1980s and 1990s, both Turkey's and Chad's foreign policy was pro-Western in the 1980s, [4] united in the belief that the spread of communism posed a threat to the world. [4]

During the 1980s [5] and 1990s, Turkey and Chad had limited economic ties [6] but the drought in the early 1990s brought Turkish aid to Chad, including agricultural, medical and technical supplies. [7]

Relations were limited until early 2010s because of Chad's landlocked status and limited air transport service. [3] Following the opening of Turkish and Chadian embassies on March 1, 2013 and December 10, 2014 respectively, bilateral relations gained momentum. [2]

In 2020, however, relations between two countries have soured, after Chadian President Idriss DĂ©by denounced Turkish role in the second Libyan conflict and sent nearly 2,000 soldiers to assist Khalifa Haftar, who is Turkey's foe in the conflict. [8]
