Foreign relations of Liberia

Overview of the foreign relations of Liberia


Liberian foreign relations were traditionally stable and cordial throughout much of the 19th and 20th centuries. With a significant relationship with the United States, sharing close relations until the 1970s.[1][2][citation needed]

During the 1990s, Charles Taylor's presidency and the First and Second Liberian Civil Wars underscored Liberian relations with the Western world, the People's Republic of China, and its neighboring countries in Western Africa.[citation needed]

Stabilization in the 21st century brought a return to cordial relations with neighboring countries and much of the Western world. Liberia holds diplomatic relations with many western nations, including its long time partner the United States, as well as Russia, Cuba, and the People's Republic of China.
