Tonga–Turkey relations are the foreign relations between Tonga and Turkey. Diplomatic relations between the two countries were established on 26 January 1976.[1]

History

[edit]

In 2008, Turkey hosted a meeting of Pacific Islands Foreign Affairs Ministers in Istanbul which brought together Turkey and Pacific Islands Officials for the first time in an international setting.[2] Although most participating countries attended the meeting at a ministerial level, Tonga sent an undersecretary.[3]

In 2014, a Turkish-Pacific Foreign Ministers meeting was held in Istanbul. Representing Tonga, UN Permanent Representative Ambassador Mahe Uliuli Sandhurst Tupouniua attended the meeting.[4] The same year, Turkey made a contribution of US$50,000 to assist Tonga with relief operations following the destruction caused by the powerful tropical cyclone Ian.[1]

In 2017, The state-owned Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TİKA) stated in their annual report that they assisted Tonga with US$20,000.[5]

Diplomatic representation

[edit]

The Turkish ambassador in the New Zealand's capital city of Wellington is also accredited to the Tonga.[1]
