Relación general
+10The enduring relationship is shaped by the treaty framework that placed Tonga under British protection and the 1970 end of that arrangement. These developments establish a history of formal bilateral cooperation alongside a significant imbalance in sovereignty; the breadth of subsequent cooperation is unclear.

Tonga and the United Kingdom have a relationship shaped by the 1900 Treaty of Friendship and Tonga’s subsequent protected status under British control of its external affairs. The arrangement ended in 1970, when Tonga regained full control of its foreign relations.
