{{Politics of Togo}}
Although '''Togo's foreign policy''' is nonaligned, it has strong historical and cultural ties with western Europe, especially [[France]] and [[Germany]]. Togo is a member of the [[Commonwealth of Nations]], exchanging [[High commissioner (Commonwealth)|high commissioners]] with other Commonwealth countries. It recognizes the [[People's Republic of China]], [[North Korea]], and [[Cuba]], and re-established relations with [[Israel]] in 1987.

Togo pursues an active foreign policy and participates in many international organizations. It is particularly active in [[West Africa]]n regional affairs and in the [[African Union]]. Relations between Togo and neighboring states are generally good.

After 1918, following the defeat of Germany, the [[League of Nations]] divided the German colony of [[Togoland]] from north to south, a decision that divided the Ewe people among the [[Gold Coast (British colony)|Gold Coast]], [[British Togoland]], and [[French Togoland]]. After 1945, the [[United Nations]] (UN) took over the Togoland mandates.  During the 1950s, when the independence of [[Ghana]] was in sight, demands grew for a separate Ewe state, an idea that [[Kwame Nkrumah]], leader of the Gold Coast independence movement, opposed.  Following a UN plebiscite in May 1956, in which a majority of the Ewe voted for union with Ghana, British Togoland became part of the Gold Coast.<ref name="cs" /><ref name="bbc">{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/4273845.stm|title=Impressions of Togo after the 'coup'|date=18 February 2005|access-date=30 December 2018|via=news.bbc.co.uk}}</ref>  After Togolese independence in 1960, relations between Togo and Ghana deteriorated, aggravated by political differences and incidents such as [[smuggling]] across their common border.
