Haiti–Turkey relations have been limited due to geographical distance until the opening of a Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TIKA) in response to the 2010 Haiti earthquake.[1]

The Embassy of Turkey in Santo Domingo is accredited to Republic of Haiti.[1]

After the earthquake, Turkey provided financial and in-kind aids that worth 1 million US Dollars each and the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TIKA) provided financial aid and equipment worth US$124 million.[2]

In addition to the financial assistance, Turkey has allocated staff to MINUSTAH in Haiti since the beginning of its operation in 2004.[3]
