"I'm not in the twilight of my career with the Ivory Coast," Drogba said after reports that this week's friendly against Mali could be his last game.
"I'll also play my third World Cup in 2014 in Brazil. If I am called upon, I will answer."
"I intend to participate in the next two African Nations Cups in 2012 and 2013," he added.
Ivory Coast beat Mali 1-0 in France on Tuesday, after Elephants captain Drogba assisted in Dider Ya Konan's match-winning goal after just three minutes.
It was the Chelsea star's first match since the Ivory Coast exited the 2010 World Cup at the group stage.
"I could not leave like that," explained a man who led Ivory Coast to the 2006 Nations Cup final.
"The day I decide to retire internationally, I will take care to say goodbye to the fans. I would never creep away on tiptoes."
The two-time African Footballer of the Year made his international debut in 2002 and is approaching a half-century of goals after winning just over 70 caps.
Ivory Coast resume their qualifying campaign for the 2012 Nations Cup next month when they host Benin.
The Elephants currently lead Group H, which also includes Burundi and Rwanda, with maximum points from two games, four goals scored and none conceded.
