Page "Foreign relations of Chad" Paragraph 0

The Foreign relations of Chad are motivated primarily by the desire for outside investment in Chadian industry and support for Chadian President Idriss Déby.

Chad is officially non-aligned but has close relations with France, the former colonial power.

Relations with neighbouring Libya, and Sudan vary periodically.

Lately, the Idris Déby regime has been waging an intermittent proxy war with Sudan.

Aside from those two countries, Chad generally enjoys good relations with its neighbouring states.
