Features: C?te d'Ivoire is the Chinese translation of the term "Ivory Coast." By agreement with the United Nations, the Republic of C?te d'Ivoire was renamed the Republic of C?te d'Ivoire on January 1, 1986. C?te d'Ivoire has a land area of 322,463 square kilometers and a population of 15 million (1998). C?te d'Ivoire became a French colony in 1893 and, after gaining independence in 1960, maintained relatively stable politics. However, in the 1990s, political democratization processes also led to turmoil. Economically, national economies have developed comprehensively, earning it the reputation of "the showcase of West Africa" and "a model of African success." In education, science and technology, and literature and arts, significant progress has been made. C?te d'Ivoire established diplomatic relations with China in 1983, and in recent years, friendly cooperative relations between the two sides have continuously expanded and deepened in various fields such as politics, economy, and trade.
