Diplomatic relations

Relations were initially tense[1] between Turkey and Cameroon under President Ahidjo,[1] who used the police and security apparatus to eliminate people who were perceived to be his enemies.[1] Relations with Turkey improved considerably with Cameroon under Biya, who attempted to develop a freer and more democratic Cameroon with more freedom of speech and press. During this time, Turkey assisted Cameroon in building schools,[2] which contributed to the fact that relative to many African countries, Cameroon has a much higher proportion[2] of children in school. However, relations worsened after the crackdown on dissent following the 1984 coup attempt.[3]

Following the decline in prices and demand in petroleum, Cameroon's economy which is highly dependent on export of petroleum, deteriorated rapidly. By 1987, Cameroon became a Heavily indebted poor countries, which allowed access to additional funds.[4] Turkey joined the IMF, the World Bank, and other aid-giving countries in providing economic assistance to Cameroon.[5]

Economic relations

  • Trade volume between the two countries was 205 million USD in 2018 (Turkish exports/imports: 151/54 million USD).[6]
  • There are direct flights daily from Istanbul to Douala and Yaoundé.[6]
