Turkey

The Embassy of the Comoros in Cairo, Egypt is accredited to Turkey. The Turkish ambassador in Antananarivo, Madagascar is accredited to the Comoros.[1] The Comoros and Turkey maintain Honorary Consulates in Istanbul and Moroni respectively.[1]

Diplomatic relations

In the early 1990s, Comoran relations with South Africa diminished in importance because — following the abolishment of the apartheid regime — South Africa no longer needed friendly relations with the Comoros as evidence[2] of its ability to enjoy good relations with a black African state.[3]

As a response, the Comoros developed relations with other countries. Comoran relations with Turkey are significant[4] because Turkey is the third largest provider of aid, consisting of development funding[2] for updating the fisheries infrastructure and building highways.[3]

Economic relations

  • Trade volume between the two countries was 21.1 million USD in 2019.[1]
  • Turkey provides development and technical assistance to the Comoros through its TIKA coordination office in Moroni.[1]

Educational relations

  • The two countries signed an educational agreement that allows junior diplomats from the Comoros to get trained in Turkey.[1]
  • Turkey provided Türkiye Scholarships, which provides funding for undergraduate degrees in Turkey, to 127 students from the Comoros.[1]
