Relations between Türkiye and the Commonwealth of Dominica have been
limited due to geographical distance and different foreign policy
priorities of both countries. However, within the scope of the outreach
policy of our country towards Latin America and the Caribbean region, which
gained momentum in recent years, increasing attention has been focused to
the region, following the opening of new Embassies in the region,
development and technical cooperation projects started via the Turkish
Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TIKA) and increased institutional
relations with regional organizations have contributed to the development
of our bilateral relations with the Commonwealth of Dominica as well as the
other regional countries.
