Abstract

Based on historical, cultural and political values, Türkiye-Africa relations have become very dynamic over more than two decades. Since the Justice and Development Party came to power, Africa has seemed to be one of the priority regions in Turkish foreign policy. In West Africa, Senegal has become one of the key African partners of Türkiye. President Erdoğan’s six visits to Dakar show the importance the country has in Türkiye’s African policy. This article reviews the evolution of the relations between the two countries, with a focus on economic partnerships. Based on the existing literature and news reports, the article highlighted the evolution of Türkiye-Senegal relations, particularly during President Macky Sall’s era. Turkish companies played a key role in the Plan for an Emerging Senegal by 2035 and were awarded many public contracts, fundamental in Macky Sall’s emergence strategy. The article highlighted the outcomes of strengthened Turkish-Senegalese cooperation, particularly in the energy, infrastructure and agri-food sectors.

Özet

Tarihi, kültürel ve siyasi değerlere dayanan Türkiye-Afrika ilişkileri yirmi yılı aşkın bir süredir oldukça dinamik bir hal almıştır. Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi'nin iktidara gelmesinden bu yana Afrika, Türk dış politikasında öncelikli bölgelerden biri olarak görülmektedir. Batı Afrika'da Senegal, Türkiye'nin kilit Afrikalı ortaklarından biri haline geldi. Cumhurbaşkanı Erdoğan'ın Dakar'a yaptığı altı ziyaret, bu ülkenin Türkiye'nin Afrika politikasında ne kadar önemli bir yere sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu makale, ekonomik ortaklıklara odaklanarak iki ülke arasındaki ilişkilerin gelişimini incelemektedir. Mevcut literatüre ve haber raporlarına dayanan makale, özellikle Cumhurbaşkanı Macky Sall döneminde Türkiye-Senegal ilişkilerinin gelişimini vurgulamaktadır. Türk şirketleri 2035'e kadar Yükselen Senegal Planı'nda kilit bir rol oynamış ve Macky Sall'in yükseliş stratejisinin temelini oluşturan birçok kamu ihalesini kazanmışlardır. Makale, özellikle enerji, altyapı ve tarımsal gıda sektörlerinde güçlenen Türkiye-Senegal işbirliğinin sonuçlarını vurgulamaktadır.
