Benin–Togo relations are the bilateral diplomatic relations between Benin and Togo. The two countries share a 651 km long state border.[1]

History

The two countries have developed friendly relations. A negative factor complicating their relations has been the internal political instability in Togo, which has led to a significant influx of refugees into Benin. The Beninese government has made efforts to act as a mediator to resolve the internal conflicts of its neighboring country.[2][3]

In 2001, the government of Benin stated that the Togolese armed forces had moved border markers without prior agreement. A joint intergovernmental commission was established to resolve the crisis. The governments of both countries continue to negotiate the financing of the construction of the Adjrala hydroelectric plant on the Mono River.[1][4]
