Cote d'Ivoire
West African country
Cote d'Ivoire is a West African country on the Gulf of Guinea, bordered by Ghana, Burkina Faso, Mali, Guinea, and Liberia.
The name is French for "Ivory Coast," reflecting the colonial-era ivory trade.
The government requests this French form in international contexts, though "Ivory Coast" remains common in English: The cocoa industry dominates Cote d'Ivoire's economy.
