Turkey and Monaco established diplomatic relations in 1954[1] and since then have enjoyed excellent relations, which both countries seek to maintain and strengthen.[according to whom?]
Historical Relations[]
Historically, Monaco’s foreign relations with Turkey were limited due to the Franco-Monégasque Treaty, which required[2] Monaco to refrain from conducting a foreign policy in exchange for France’s defense of Monégasque independence and sovereignty.[1]
In 2005, Monaco renegotiated the 1918 Franco-Monégasque Treaty to allow full direct diplomatic relations between Monaco and other countries.[2] Taking advantage of the updated treaty, in 2006, Turkey and Monaco established full diplomatic relations.[1]
The Turkish consulate-general in Marseille is accredited to Monaco since September 16, 2008 and handles most diplomatic and working-level contacts with Monaco.[1]
