The relationship between Turkey and Burundi has been very limited until 2000. Turkey has been an importer of Burundi's coffee and has offered some international aid and assistance.[2]
During the
Cold War, and especially in the 1960s, relations between Turkey and Burundi cooled because of the latter's relationship with
communistChina. However, this was very short-lived and relations improved later.[3] Relations soured[3] following the 1972
massacre.[4] In 2000, relations became closer when
Turkish diplomatic corps strongly supported
Arusha Accords.[5]
Economic Relations
Trade volume between the two countries was 3.1 million USD in 2019 (Turkish exports/imports: 2.6/0.5 million USD).[6]
