Historical Relations

Throughout the 1960s, Mauritania's main pro-French foreign policy[2] objective was preserving its independence in the face of Moroccan irredentism.[3]

Through the early 1970s,[4] Mauritania continued to play the role of bridge between the Maghrib and sub-Saharan Africa.[5]

Since late 1980s, Mauritania cultivated ties[6] with Turkey as a possible source of aid[7] and investment. Turkey, in return, has provided it with substantial amounts of economic aid[8] and through TIKA funded the construction of hospitals, schools, power plants and roads.[9]
