Bhutan–Turkey relations are the foreign relations between Bhutan and Turkey.
Diplomatic relations[edit]
Great Britain guided Bhutan’s foreign affairs between 1865 and 1947.[1] From then on, Bhutan has maintained an isolationist streak[citation needed] in world affairs under the guidance of India, with which Bhutan had had official diplomatic relations since 1949.[1] Bhutan had no formal diplomatic relations with Turkey until 2012 because of the shortage of diplomatic personnel.[citation needed]
Bhutan and Turkey maintained, however, informal contact through the embassies of Bhutan and Turkey in New Delhi.[2]
Through Turkish facilitation,[2] ESCAP — in coordination with UNCTAD and UNDP — granted the special status of "least developed landlocked countries" to Bhutan[3] along with Afghanistan, Laos, Mongolia and Nepal. Despite the developmental aid pledges of Turkey, Bhutan declined to participate in this development program.[3]
Following US$100 thousand Turkish aid to Bhutan in response to the devastation caused by Cyclone Aila[4] in May 2009, Bhutan and Turkey finally established[4] formal diplomatic relations in 2012.
Economic relations[edit]
- Trade volume between the two countries was 1.58 million USD in 2018 (Turkish exports/imports: 0.1/1.48 million USD).[5]
