Mauritania

Turkey

Mauritania–Turkey relations are the foreign relations between Mauritania and Turkey. The Turkish embassy in Nouakchott opened in April 2011. [1]

History

Throughout the 1960s, Mauritania's main pro-French foreign policy [2] objective was preserving its independence in the face of Moroccan irredentism. [3]

Through the early 1970s, [3] Mauritania continued to play the role of bridge between the Maghrib and sub-Saharan Africa. [4]

Since late 1980s, Mauritania cultivated ties [5] with Turkey as a possible source of aid [6] and investment. Turkey, in return, has provided it with substantial amounts of economic aid [6] and through TIKA funded the construction of hospitals, schools, power plants and roads. [2]
