Summary/Abstract: Between 1945 and 1956 Yugoslavia had political and economic relations with the nations of the Middle East, both with the Arab countries and with Israel. The focus of Yugoslav diplomacy in the region was the endeavor to improve mutual political and economic relations. Political relations were developed through direct contacts and common actions in international organizations. In regard to Arab-Israeli relations Yugoslavia tried to pursue a conciliatory policy of cooperation which often awoke suspicion and misunderstanding with both parties in the conflict. Good political relations were paving the way for the Yugoslav economy which resulted in increased export of Yugoslav goods into this market Within the framework of general development of mutual relations, ties in the field of culture were also strengthened, but they remained at the margins of overall political, economic and military relations.
