The foreign relations of Guinea, including those with its West African neighbors, have improved steadily since 1985.
Ambassadors of the United States are persons nominated by the president to serve as the country's diplomatic representatives to foreign nations, international organizations, and as ambassadors-at-large. Under Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution, their appointment must be confirmed by the United States Senate; while an ambassador may be appointed during a recess, they can serve only until the end of the next session of Congress, unless subsequently confirmed.
Equatorial Guinea – United States relations are bilateral relations between Equatorial Guinea and the United States.
Guinea – United States relations are bilateral relations between Guinea and the United States.
Guinea-Bissau–United States relations are bilateral relations between Guinea-Bissau and the United States.
São Tomé and Príncipe – United States relations are bilateral relations between São Tomé and Príncipe and the United States. The U.S. Ambassador based at the embassy in Libreville, Gabon was accredited to Sao Tome on a non-resident basis until 2022, when that role was designated to the U.S. Ambassador based at the embassy in Luanda, Angola. The Ambassador and Embassy staff make regular visits to the islands. The US State Department has described relations with São Tomé and Príncipe as excellent.
The United States has formal diplomatic relations with most nations. This includes all UN member and observer states other than Bhutan, Iran, North Korea and Syria, and the UN observer State of Palestine, the latter of which the U.S. does not recognize. Additionally, the U.S. has diplomatic relations with Kosovo and the European Union.
The Embassy of Equatorial Guinea in Washington, D.C. is the diplomatic mission of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea to the United States. It is located at 2020 16th Street Northwest, Washington, D.C. in the U Street Corridor neighborhood.
This is a summary history of diplomatic relations of the United States listed by country. The history of diplomatic relations of the United States began with the appointment of Benjamin Franklin as U.S. Minister to France in 1778, even before the U.S. had won its independence from Great Britain in 1783.
