Tanzania-Turkey relations

Tanzania	Turkey

Tanzania–Turkey relations are the foreign relations between Tanzania and Turkey. The Turkish embassy in Dar es Salaam first opened in 1979, although the Ottoman Empire had previously opened a consulate in Zanzibar, now a part of Tanzania, on March 17, 1837.

Diplomatic relations

Turkey had friendly relations with Tanzania under the founding president Julius Nyerere, who cooperated with Turkey in opposing colonialism and apartheid in Africa. The relations became cooler when Julius Nyerere allowed Che Guevera to use Tanzania during his failed intervention in the Congolese civil war.

After Julius Nyerere’s retirement, relations with Tanzania improved because of Tanzania's progress in democratization and social progress.

• In January 2017, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan made a state visit to Tanzania.
