Presentation of the letters of credence by the Ambassador of Burundi to Ankara to His Excellency Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, President of the Republic of Türkiye

The opening of the Burundi Embassy in Ankara in 2014 and that of Türkiye in Bujumbura in 2018 contributed to the strengthening and development of the relations between the two countries, particularly in terms of the mobility of people and goods. The relations of friendship and cooperation are materialized through the signing of agreements in different areas of common interest between the two parties, mainly in the areas of diplomacy, education, trade, defense, security, agriculture and livestock.

In fraternity, when an earthquake struck Türkiye leaving thousands dead and missing, the Burundian Government deployed a “specialized” team of ten people in Türkiye to help in rescuing and recovery operations and they will be deployed by the Turkish authorities in the areas where they are most needed. Note that the devastating earthquake which caused several damages and killed more than 28,000 people in Türkiye and neighboring Syria, is one of the worst in humanity.
On Tuesday March 12, 2024, the Ambassador of the Republic of Burundi to Ankara, Türkiye Mr. Didace Ntureka presented his letters of credence to His Excellency Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, President of the Republic of Türkiye. The relations of friendship and cooperation between those two countries are based on pragmatism, trust and mutual respect.
