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]
