[[Guinea]] reestablished relations with [[France]] and [[West Germany]] in 1975, and with neighboring [[Côte d'Ivoire]] and [[Senegal]] in 1978. Guinea has been active in efforts toward regional integration and cooperation, especially regarding the Organization of African Unity and the Economic Organization of West African States ([[ECOWAS]]). Guinea takes its role in a variety of international organizations seriously and participates actively in their deliberations and decisions. Guinea has participated in both diplomatic and military efforts to resolve conflicts in [[Liberia]], [[Sierra Leone]], and [[Guinea-Bissau]], and contributed contingents of troops to peacekeeping operations in all three countries as part of [[ECOMOG]], the Military Observer Group of [[ECOWAS]]. Guinea has offered asylum to over 700,000 [[Liberia]]n, [[Sierra Leone]]an, and [[Bissau]]an refugees since 1990, despite the economic and environmental costs involved.
