SenegalâTurkey relations are the bilateral relations between Senegal and Turkey. Turkey has an embassy in Dakar since 1962. Senegal has an embassy in Ankara which was opened in August 2006. [1] Both countries are members of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation.
Turkey and Senegal historically have had very friendly relations. [2]
Turkey assisted Senegal while it was going through the Sahel drought of 1966-1973 that coincided with Franceâs abandonment of colonial support. [3] Mindful that the population growth far outstripped [4] economic growth in Senegal, Turkey has constructed and subsequently managed schools in Senegal through the Maarif Foundation. [3]
Turkey was particularly supportive of Abdou Diouf, who was considered a brilliant and technocratic [2] prime minister. Turkey supported Abdou Dioufâs liberalization [3] of the political process whereby he allowed a further 13 political parties to run for the 1983 election. [5]
