Relations between Germany and the Central African Republic are friendly but there is room for improvement. Germany closed its Embassy in the capital Bangui in 1997 and since then the German Embassy in Cameroon has been responsible for the country. For its part, the Central African Republic looks after relations with Germany through its Embassy in Paris.

Germany is engaged in the Central African Republic through the European Union Advisory Mission. In the period 2020-2023, the Federal Foreign Office made available some 104 million euro for humanitarian assistance.

Germany is active in the field of stabilisation and since 2017 has paid some 255 million euro into the United Nations Peacebuilding Fund, which is also used to finance projects in the Central African Republic, for example, to promote reconciliation and political dialogue.
