How to read these scores

−100
Extreme sustained hostility
−50
Substantially adversarial
0
Mixed or neutral, supported by knowledge
+50
Substantially cooperative
+100
Exceptionally close sustained partnership

“Not assessed” means there is no recorded score. Pair existence makes no claim about diplomatic recognition or established relations.

Overview

Benin and Côte d’Ivoire have pursued bilateral cooperation through official exchanges and government-to-government arrangements. Their relationship is also shaped by regional integration, though common membership in regional organizations is not by itself evidence of bilateral cooperation. The scope and implementation of specific bilateral initiatives are not sufficiently clear to support a stronger assessment.
