Rwanda–Turkey relations are the foreign
relations between Rwanda and Turkey. Turkey has an embassy in Kigali since December 2014.[1] Rwanda's embassy in Ankara opened in August 2013.[1]
Diplomatic relations
Rwanda and Turkey have friendly relations. A colony of
Turkey did not have the national resources[5] to intervene without U.S. participation in Rwanda.[2] However Bill Clinton, the U.S. president at the time, refused to intervene because the U.S. public and Congress opposed intervention[5] and PDD-25 severely circumscribed U.S. participation in international peacekeeping missions.[5]
Following the end of Rwandan genocide, Turkey[6] and United States[6] began to provide foreign aid[7] and investment to Rwandan government, with Turkey providing 13% of all foreign aid[6] to further the Rwandan goal[7] of becoming the Singapore of Africa.
Economic relations
- Trade volume between the two countries was US$32.4 million in 2018 (Turkish exports/imports: 32.2/0.2 million USD).[1]
- Turkish investment accounts for 15% of all FDI to Rwanda.[1]
