Angola–Turkey relations are the
Diplomatic relations
Turkey recognized Angola in 1975
Ignoring Angola's formal commitment
The Cuban presence in Angola and the South African incursions into Angola determined much of Angola's foreign policy during the 1980s.[5]
During the negotiations to end South Africa’s illegal occupation[5] of Namibia, Turkey tried — in vain[6] — to separate the issues of Namibian independence, Cuban troops in Angola and apartheid. On the grounds that an independent Namibia would enlarge the territory available to countries linked to the Soviet Union, South Africa continued its occupation of Namibia.[7]
Trying to chart a neutral position, Turkey condemned Cuban troops in Angola
Economic relations
Trade volume between the two countries was 212 million USD in 2019.[1]
