Foreign Policy

Cote d'Ivoire maintains a strong alliance with France and is a key partner of the EU and World Bank in West Africa. Under Ouattara, the country has deepened economic ties with China and Gulf investors while maintaining its traditional Western partnerships.

Abidjan supports ECOWAS-led responses to regional crises and advocates for democratic governance -- it backed ECOWAS sanctions against the Sahelian juntas. The country prioritizes regional economic integration, cocoa sector reform, and climate-smart agriculture.

Allies

MUN Delegate Guide

As Cote d'Ivoire, leverage your position as the economic engine of Francophone West Africa. Support ECOWAS unity and oppose unconstitutional changes of government -- your own civil war experience gives you credibility on post-conflict recovery and reconciliation.

Ally with France, Ghana, Nigeria, and Senegal. On trade, advocate for fairer commodity pricing -- cocoa-producing nations deserve a greater share of value. On climate, push for deforestation-free supply chains and support for smallholder farmers. Be a voice for regional integration and democratic governance.
