Guinea's relations with other countries, including with West African neighbors,
have improved steadily since 1985. Guinea reestablished relations with
France and Germany in 1975, and with neighboring Côte d'Ivoire and
Senegal in 1978. Guinea has been active in efforts toward regional integration
and cooperation, especially regarding the Organization of African Unity
and the Economic Organization of West African States (ECOWAS). Guinea
takes its role in a variety of international organizations seriously and
participates actively in their deliberations and decisions.
Guinea has participated in both diplomatic and military efforts to resolve
conflicts in Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea-Bissau, and contributed
contingents of troops to peacekeeping operations in all three countries
as part of ECOMOG, the Military Observer Group of ECOWAS. Guinea has offered
asylum to over 700,000 Liberian, Sierra Leonean, and Bissauan refugees
since 1990, despite the economic and environmental costs involved.
Guinea is also a member of the International Criminal Court with a Bilateral
Immunity Agreement of protection for the US-military.
