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. ==Diplomatic relations== List of countries which Togo maintains diplomatic relations with: {| class="wikitable sortable" ! colspan="3" |[[File:Diplomatic relations of Togo.svg|frameless|425x425px]] |- !# !Country !Date |- |1 |{{Flag|France}} |{{dts|27 April 1960}}<ref name=":0" /> |- |2 |{{Flag|Germany}} |{{dts|27 April 1960}}<ref name=":1" /> |- |3 |{{Flag|United Kingdom}} |{{dts|27 April 1960}}<ref name=":2" /> |- |4 |{{Flag|United States}} |{{dts|27 April 1960}}<ref name=":3" /> |- |5 |{{Flag|Russia}} |{{dts|1 May 1960}}<ref>{{Cite web |title=DiploHistory: 57 years ago Russia and the Togolese Republic established diplomatic relations |url=https://twitter.com/mfa_russia/status/859006606075449344?s=20 |access-date=12 July 2023 |website=MFA Russia}}</ref> |- |6 |{{Flag|Switzerland}} |{{dts|19 July 1960}}<ref>{{Cite web |title=No 1631.
