Korean and Turkish relations can be traced back to antiquity, when the [[Göktürks]] had supported the ancient Koreans during their expansion and also helped to defend them against Chinese forces. As both people were oppressed by the Tang Chinese, they formed an alliance. The last King of [[Goguryeo]], [[Yeongyang of Goguryeo|Yeongyang]], was believed to have a Göktürk wife. Göktürk soldiers assisted Goguryeo in many battles, including in the war that [[Silla]] fought against the Chinese. The Kingdom of Silla later paid tribute to the Göktürks.<ref>[https://books.google.de/books?id=46OTBQAAQBAJ&pg=PA64&lpg=PA64&dq=g%C3%B6kt%C3%BCrk+goguryeo+relation&source=bl&ots=0_kFIF8CJo&sig=e3r2dIJGZhugWNhZYzkVrsaIoV8&hl=de&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjX8duOtPbWAhUGuhoKHeGiCBoQ6AEIazAM#v=onepage&q=g%C3%B6kt%C3%BCrk%20and%20goguryeo%20relation&f=false Korean History in Maps]</ref><ref>[http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/opinon/2016/11/162_217624.html Turkish-Korean brotherhood]</ref><ref>[http://www.theasian.asia/archives/96922 Second Forum of “Gokturk and Goguryeo Relations” in Seoul]</ref> |

South Korean–Turkish relations are foreign relations between South Korea and Turkey. Turkey has an embassy in Seoul, while South Korea has an embassy in Ankara and a consulate-general in Istanbul. Both countries are members of G20.
History
South Korea and Turkey have enjoyed a longstanding relationship marked by strong economic, diplomatic, and touristic ties. These relations can be largely traced to the formation of the South Korean nation, when Turkey, namely the Turkish Brigade, had supported South-Koreans against North-Korean forces at the Korean War. Of the 721 Turkish soldiers who fell in the battles, 462 were buried at the "Heroes' Cemetery" in Busan.[1] Based on those mutual gestures and acts of friendship, the relationship between the two nations is sometimes referred as "South-Korean–Turkish brotherhood" (Turkish: Kore–Türk dostluğu; Korean: 한국 – 터키 우정).[2]
After the 3rd place match at the 2002 FIFA World Cup, South Korean and Turkish football players celebrated together and showed exemplary images of friendship and fair play. The flags of both nations were seen side by side on the stands and both teams' players saluted the crowds arm in arm, creating a friendly atmosphere.[3]
Economic relations
In 2013, both countries entered into a free trade agreement.[4]
Military cooperation
Altay tank, a newly military tank of the Turkish Armed Forces, was supported by Hyundai Rotem with technical support and assistance.[5]
