Somalia–Turkey relations are bilateral relations between Somalia and Turkey. The two nations are longstanding partners, engaging in close development cooperation. Somalia also has an embassy in Ankara, and Turkey maintains an embassy in Mogadishu. ==History== Relations between the present-day territories of Somalia and Turkey date back to the Middle Ages and the ties between the Adal Sultanate and the Ottoman Empire. The two kingdoms were allies during the Abyssinian–Adal conflict. In 1969, Somalia and Turkey were among the founding members of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). Turkey originally maintained an embassy in Mogadishu, Somalia's capital, until the outbreak of the Somali Civil War in 1991. It subsequently discontinued operations due to security reasons.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.somaliembassytr.org/#/foreign-policy/4559661853 )〕 Over the ensuing interim period, the Turkish authorities continued relations with Somalia's newly established Transitional National Government and its successor the Transitional Federal Government through their non-resident diplomatic mission in Addis Ababa.〔 Following a greatly improved security situation in Mogadishu in mid-2011, and a visit by then Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the Turkish government re-opened its foreign embassy with the intention of more effectively assisting in the post-conflict development process.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.mfa.gov.tr/no_-248_-1-november-2011_-press-release-regarding-the-re-opening-of-the-turkish-embassy-in-mogadishu.en.mfa )〕 It was among the first foreign administrations to resume formal diplomatic relations with Somalia after the civil war.〔(''Why Turkish aid model is proving to be a success in Somalia and elsewhere'' ), Rasna Warah, Saturday Nation, 1 April 2012.〕 The Federal Government of Somalia was later established on August 20, 2012, representing the first permanent central government in the country since the start of the conflict.〔 The following month, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud was elected as the new government's first President. The election was welcomed by the Turkish authorities, who re-affirmed Turkey's continued support for Somalia's government, its territorial integrity and sovereignty.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.un.org/News/Press/docs/2012/sg2187.doc.htm )〕 In January 2015, President of Somalia Mohamud and newly elected President of Turkey Erdoğan also inaugurated a number of new Turkish-built development projects in Mogadishu. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Somalia–Turkey relations」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
