{{Politics 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.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Holloway |first=Joseph E. |date=1985 |title=Liberian Foreign Affairs: A Bibliographical Essay |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/40105501 |journal=The International History Review |volume=7 |issue=3 |pages=422–432 |jstor=40105501 |issn=0707-5332}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Global Connections .

During the 1990s, [[Charles G. Taylor|Charles Taylor's]] presidency and the [[First Liberian Civil War|First]] and [[Second Liberian Civil War]]s underscored Liberian relations with the Western world, the People's Republic of [[China]], and its neighboring countries in [[Western Africa]].{{citation needed|date=July 2012}}

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]].

By 1992, 120,000 people had fled from Sierra Leone to Guinea due to the RUF's practice of targeting civilians. In 2001, Liberian forces along with the RUF began attacking and burning refugee camps and Guinean villages along the border. In an inflammatory speech the Guinean president [[Lansana Conté]], blamed the refugees for the border destabilization and alleged that the vast majority of refugees were rebels.<ref name="hrw" />

He called for the Guinean population to defend its nation. This call precipitated attacks, beatings, rapes, and abductions of refugees by Guinean police and military forces. This reversal of Guinea's previously open policy towards refugees, further escalated the refugee crisis as refugees attempted to cross back through RUF territory.<ref name="warwithoutend" /> By 2002, the [[United Nations]] estimated that three million people, or one in five people of the [[Mano River Union]] countries, were displaced.<ref name="diamondtimeline" /><ref name="unwestafrica">''United Nations Consolidated Inter-Agency Appeal for West Africa, 2001'', U.N.

Indian-Liberian relations have traditionally been strong and cordial with Liberia's full-fledged support for India's stand on [[Kashmir]] and India's aspiration for permanent membership on the [[United Nations Security Council]]. In recent years, both nations have developed close and extensive cooperation in trade, military and strategic fields.

Amidst India's growing role in Liberia, the Liberian Minister of Mines and Energy, Dr. Eugene Shannon visited India in October 2005 to participate in the [[Confederation of Indian Industry]]-Africa Conclave. In 2008, the President of Liberia [[Ellen Johnson Sirleaf]] was invited to visit India.<ref>{{cite web|year=2009 |url=http://meaindia.nic.in/foreignrelation/leberia.pdf |title=Foreign Relations of India-Liberia |publisher=[[Ministry of External Affairs (India)|Ministry of External Affairs]] |access-date=2009-02-28 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090619091830/http://meaindia.nic.in/foreignrelation/leberia.pdf |archive-date=June 19, 2009 }}</ref> Major items of Indian exports include engineering goods, pharmaceuticals, two wheelers, transportation equipment, steel and plastic products. Major items of imports are gold, diamonds, timber and metal scrap. Following lifting of [[United Nations]] sanctions, timber concessions have been awarded to Indian firms. Overall, Indian investments in Liberia have been increased from US$450 million in 2005 to an estimated $2 billion in 2009.

Liberia's relationship with [[Libya]] has been characterized by [[Muammar Gaddafi|Muammar Gaddafi's]] attempts at bringing Liberia under greater Libyan influence. Relations under the [[Samuel Doe|Doe administration]] were poor, owing to efforts by the [[United States]] to undermine Gaddafi's leverage, and Doe's cynicism of the Libyan leader's intentions. Gaddafi financially and militarily backed rebel leader [[Charles Taylor (Liberian politician)|Charles Taylor]], under whose regime Liberia sought closer relations with Libya. After Taylor was ousted in 2003, Liberia continued to maintain diplomatic relations with Libya, only severing them after the onset of the [[Libyan Civil War]], and just recently reestablishing them.
