Foreign Policy
Equatorial Guinea's foreign policy is driven by oil wealth and regime survival. The Obiang government has used hydrocarbon revenues to cultivate relationships with major powers while resisting international pressure on governance and human rights. The United States (historically the largest oil investor through companies like ExxonMobil and Hess) and China are key economic partners.
The country has pursued an active regional diplomacy disproportionate to its size, hosting the African Union summit in 2011 and providing financial support to continental initiatives. Relations with Spain (the former colonial power) are complicated by governance criticism and exile opposition. Equatorial Guinea has border disputes with Cameroon and Gabon over potentially oil-rich maritime areas.
