Foreign Policy
Senegal's new government under President Faye and Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko has signaled a more sovereigntist foreign policy, reviewing French military basing agreements and seeking more equitable terms for resource extraction. Dakar maintains its commitments to ECOWAS and the African Union while pursuing greater autonomy.
Senegal has historically been a major contributor to UN peacekeeping and a strong supporter of multilateralism, the International Criminal Court, and human rights. It is a member of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation and the Francophonie.
