Foreign Policy
Sierra Leone's foreign policy is shaped by its post-conflict recovery needs and dependence on international development assistance. It maintains strong ties with the United Kingdom (former colonial power), the United States, China, and the EU. Sierra Leone is active in ECOWAS and the Mano River Union.
Freetown supports multilateralism, peacekeeping, and international justice -- its experience with the Special Court gives it credibility on accountability issues. The country has contributed troops to UN peacekeeping missions in Sudan and Somalia.
