Burundi–Turkey relations are the foreign relations between Burundi and Turkey. Turkey has an Embassy in Bujumbura since December 2018, and Burundi’s Embassy in Ankara opened in June 2014.[1]
Diplomatic Relations[]
The relationship between Turkey and Burundi has been very limited until 2000. Turkey has been an importer of Burundi’s coffee and has offered some international aid and assistance.[2]
During the Cold War, and especially in the 1960s, relations between Turkey and Burundi cooled because of the latter’s relationship with communist China. However, this was very short-lived and relations improved later.[3] Relations soured[4] following the 1972 massacre.[5] In 2000, relations became closer when Turkish diplomatic corps strongly supported Arusha Accords.[6]
Economic Relations[]
- Trade volume between the two countries was 3.1 million USD in 2019 (Turkish exports/imports: 2.6/0.5 million USD).[7]
