On November 28, the Islamic Republic of Mauritania celebrates Independence Day!
On this day in 1960, #Mauritania achieved independence from France following a largely peaceful resistance to the colonial rule. It became a member of the United Nations in October 1961.
After gaining freedom, Mauritania declared commitment to the policy of neutrality and supported the national liberation struggle of the peoples of Angola, Mozambique and Guinea-Bissau against the western colonisers.
The diplomatic relations between our country and the Islamic Republic of Mauritania were established on July 12, 1964, and bilateral cooperation has been steadily developing ever since.
We congratulate our Mauritanian friends and colleagues on their national holiday and wish them peace and prosperity!
