Guinea–Senegal relations are foreign relations between the two neighbouring West African nations which are part of ECOWAS. Guinea and Senegal share a 363 km border and a long history of cooperation and occasional tension.

History

[edit]

Senegal closed its border with Guinea in 2014 and imposed controls for boats and ships on the Atlantic Ocean.[1] The closure happened during the Western African Ebola epidemic.[2] The border was reopened after one month period.[3]

In 2021 two countries concluded an military cooperation agreement initially signed in 2020.[4] In summer of 2024 President of Senegal Bassirou Diomaye Faye together with government representatives visited capital of Guinea Conakry where he met President of Guinea Mamady Doumbouya.[5]

Economic cooperation

[edit]

In 2023 total trade between the two countries was $164.25 million.[6] Senegal's exports to Guinea included non-fillet frozen fish, malt extract and other products.[6]
