Equatorial Guinea (Spanish: República de Guinea Ecuatorial) is located in the Midwest of Africa, bordering the Atlantic Ocean in the west, Cameroon in the north, and Gabon in the East and south. It is composed of the MUni river area on the mainland and the islands of Bioko, Annobon and Corisco in the Gulf of Guinea.
Equatorial Guinea's economy is dominated by planting, and its main export product is cocoa, followed by coffee. The country has long been included in the list of the world's least developed countries, but a large amount of oil resources were found in the territorial waters of Equatorial Guinea in 1996. Since then, the country's economy has grown rapidly, and the per capita GDP has exceeded 20000 US dollars. However, the vast majority of oil revenue is controlled by government officials and ruling groups, so the overall economic income of the country is still in poverty.
Since January 1, 2018, it has officially become a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council for a term of two years.
