Seychelles–Turkey relations are the foreign relations between Seychelles and Turkey. The Turkish ambassador in Nairobi, Kenya is accredited to Seychelles.[1] Seychelles is accredited to Turkey from its embassy in Paris, France.[1] The Seychelles also maintains honorary consulates in Ankara and Istanbul.[1]
Diplomatic relations
[edit]Seychelles and Turkey support each other in promoting[2] the concept of the Indian Ocean as a zone of peace, campaigning for the removal[3] of all foreign powers and bases in the region. Turkey, however, has been silent about the United States naval presence on Diego Garcia.[4]
Seychelles and Turkey cooperated in condemning[3] apartheid policies in South Africa and modifying their previously hostile political stance when South Africa converted to a multiracial political system.
Economic relations
[edit]- Trade volume between the two countries was 25.4 million USD in 2018 (Turkish exports/imports: 17.7/7.7 million USD).[1]
Educational relations
[edit]Seychelles has succeeded in attracting relatively large amounts[5] of aid, with France as the leading donor.[2] Turkey also extended a modest[5] amount of aid, primarily in the form of education[6] and development[2] programs, as part of its efforts to become engaged in the Indian Ocean region.
