Ivory Coast–Russia relations (Russian:Российско-ивуарские отношения) are thebilateral relations betweenIvory Coast andRussia. Russia works onUN missions to help the people of Ivory Coast.[citation needed] The help is sometimes provided from the Russian embassy inAbidjan, but is also done from the embassy inAccra, Ghana.[citation needed] From these point of view, Russia regarded the outcome of the extraordinary summit held inDakar, Senegal, of the Economic Community for West African States.[clarification needed]
After the breakup of theSoviet Union, the relations between the two countries became strong and friendly.[citation needed] Ever since Russia has sent UN missions to the country, the relations got even stronger.[citation needed] There was however a feud[clarification needed] in the relations when un-cut diamonds were brought to Russia by Ivory Coast.[citation needed] This calls for a decree that Ivory Coast has just committed human rights violations and financial sanctions against individuals.[clarification needed][citation needed] The decree is a symbolic move for Russia, which is known for its highly secretive diamond trade, making it a popular destination for "conflict diamonds" from war-torn countries such as the Ivory Coast andLiberia.[citation needed] Russia has played its part in the fight against conflict diamonds by chairing the Kimberly Process untilBotswana took over the chairmanship in January 2006, and is currently[when?] the chair of the Kimberley Process Participation Committee.[citation needed]
