Germany–Mauritania relations

Germany–Mauritania relations are described as "good" by the German Foreign Office, and Germany provides development aid to Mauritania.[1] The Captain Cornelius Reers of the frigate Rother Löwe from the Electorate of Brandenburg occupied the island of Arguin in 1685.[2] After Mauritania's independence from France in 1960, the country established diplomatic relations with the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) in the same year.[3] Germany imports mainly raw materials from Mauritania and exports food, vehicles, and machinery in return.[2] Germany provides development aid in Mauritania with a focus on peace and security, vocational training and the environment.
