Relations between Türkiye and Grenada have been limited due to geographical
distance and different foreign policy priorities of both countries. The
outreach policy of Türkiye towards Latin America and the Caribbean region
has gained momentum in recent years and increasing attention has been paid
to the region. Opening of new Embassies in the region, development and
technical cooperation projects carried out by the Turkish Cooperation and
Coordination Agency (TIKA) and increased institutional relations with
regional organizations have contributed to the development of our bilateral
relations with Grenada as well.
The Embassy of Türkiye in Port of Spain is accredited to Grenada.
Türkiye and Grenada support each other's candidacy in international forums
to the extent possible, particularly for candidacies in the UN and its
subsidiary bodies.
