Mauritania became an independent state in 1960, but the United Kingdom did not have a resident ambassador until 2018: the British ambassador to Senegal was also non-resident ambassador to Mauritania from 1960 to 1990, and the ambassador to Morocco was non-resident ambassador to Mauritania from 1990 to 2018. In 2018 the United Kingdom upgraded its office in Nouakchott to an embassy and appointed a resident ambassador.[1]
