Full profile →How countries rank their relationships
See the strongest and most difficult relationships from five major viewpoints, plus the largest differences between how two countries assess one another. Only pages with substantial reviewed evidence are included.
Scores describe a direction — one country toward another — under methodology v1.1.1. Differences below five points are practical ties, and missing evidence is never treated as neutral evidence.
