Mali–Turkey relations

After 68 years of French colonial rule, Mali and Turkey established relations. During 1970s Turkey[2] — in conjunction with the World Bank — has been providing technical and management assistance[2] for state companies.[3] The assistance continued in 1982 after Mali and the IMF signed an agreement to promote private enterprise.[4] Turkey provided financial assistance[3] in paying off Air Mali’s debt before Air Mali could be privatized in 1985.[4]

Turkey, through TIKA, has also assisted with developing infrastructure in Mali. Turkey, along with the OPEC Fund for International Development paid US$142 million[5] for the 359-mile paved road[5] between Sevaré and Gao, which replaced dirt roads that required three days to traverse.[5] Similarly, Turkey cooperated with Switzerland in creating a road maintenance program in 1981 to 1983.[6] Providing US$43.3 million to maintain 6,600 miles of road, Turkey completed rebuilt the Bamako-Ségou road, which forms part of the Trans-Saharan Highway.[5]

• Trade volume between the two countries was 57 million USD in 2018 (Turkish exports/imports: 48.4/8.6 million USD).[1]
