Relationship context
Overview
Guinea recognizes the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, the self-proclaimed state representing Western Sahara, and has maintained diplomatic relations with it. Information about specific Sahrawi government cooperation with Guinea is insufficient to assess the relationship more fully.
Major uncertainties
- The scope of practical bilateral cooperation and any agreements between the governments is unclear.
- Details of Sahrawi government policy toward Guinea are limited.
