Foreign Policy
Guinea-Bissau's foreign policy is constrained by its instability and limited state capacity. It maintains ties with Portugal and the Lusophone world through CPLP, and is a member of ECOWAS and the West African Economic and Monetary Union.
Bissau relies heavily on international development assistance, particularly from the EU, the World Bank, and the UN Peacebuilding Commission. The country has been on the UN Peacebuilding Commission's agenda since 2007.
