Foreign Policy

Guinea's junta has sought to maintain its mining partnerships while resisting external pressure for a rapid democratic transition. China is Guinea's largest investor, primarily in the massive Simandou iron ore project, one of the world's largest untapped deposits.

Historically, Guinea maintained close ties with the Soviet Union during the Cold War and has preserved a tradition of non-alignment. The country's Mano River Union membership links it to Liberia and Sierra Leone on regional security.

MUN Delegate Guide

As Guinea, emphasize your country's proud independence history -- you were the first Francophone African state to reject colonial dependency. Advocate for resource sovereignty and the right of African nations to manage their own mineral wealth.

On governance, acknowledge the transition but push back against external conditionality. Ally with fellow Francophone African states and build ties with China and Russia as development partners. On trade, advocate for beneficiation -- processing raw materials in Africa rather than exporting them unrefined. Support Mano River Union cooperation with Liberia and Sierra Leone.
