Mauritania Embassies and Consulates

Mauritania, officially called the Islamic Republic of Mauritania, is a country in northwest Africa. The capital and largest city is Nouakchott, located on the Atlantic coast. A majority of its population still depends on agriculture and livestock for a livelihood. Mauritania has extensive deposits of iron ore, which account for almost 50% of total exports. The Mauritanian cultural idea of beauty encourages consumption of high fat foods such as camel's milk, to ensure that young women attain sufficient size. Overweight individuals would be considered attractive in this culture. Since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Mauritania in 1965, the two counties have enjoyed smooth and steady development.
