科特迪瓦2020～2021年面临较为严峻的政治和经济形势。就政治而言，随着统一党候选人库利巴利去世、瓦塔拉再次参加大选，该国舆论对瓦塔拉第三任期的讨论不断加剧，甚至爆发了暴力冲突事件。瓦塔拉在大选获胜后采取的系列和解政策，使国内政局逐渐稳定，并顺利举行了立法会选举。从经济来看，新冠肺炎疫情使科特迪瓦经济遭到巨大打击，近十年的高速增长被迫放缓，诸多企业被迫关闭，失业人数不断增多。对此，科特迪瓦政府采取扩大财政支出的方式，减轻企业和失业人员的负担，确保经济的迅速恢复。在外交方面，科特迪瓦的外交重点仍是法国，与法国的合作较为密切。在西共体货币改革上仍支持继续使用西非法郎。在科特迪瓦境内发生数起恐怖袭击后，科特迪瓦反恐力度开始加强，并积极与周边国家合作，阻止恐怖主义势力扩散。
From 2020 to 2021，Côte d’Ivoire faced a severe political and economic situation. In terms of politics，with the death of the RHDP candidate Coulibaly and Ouattara’s re-election，the public opinion has been intensifying the discussion of Ouattara’s third-term and even outbreak of violent clashes. After winning the presidential election，Ouattara adopted a series of reconciliation policies，which gradually stabilized the domestic political situation and successfully held the legislative election. From the economy perspective，the sudden outbreak of the “COVID-19” Pandemic has hit the economy of Côte d’Ivoire greatly，slowing down the rapid growth of nearly a decade，forcing many enterprises to close down，and increasing the number of unemployed. In response，the Government of Côte d’Ivoire has taken the form of expanding fiscal expenditure to reduce the burden on enterprises and the unemployed，and to ensure the rapid recovery of the economy. From a diplomatic point of view，the focus of Côte d’Ivoire’s diplomacy remains on France，with which it continues to cooperate more closely. There is still support for the continued use of the FCFA in terms of currency reform in the ECOWAS. And after several terrorist attacks in Côte d’Ivoire，the country has begun to intensify its counter-terrorism efforts and actively cooperate with neighboring countries to stop the spread of terrorist forces.
