The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, often shortened to the Foreign Ministry, is the Florenian government ministry with the responsibility of managing the diplomatic affairs and international relations of the Kingdom. The Ministry was founded under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Act 2012, an Act of Parliament passed on 30 September 2012. Sarisha Danforth has served as Minister of State for Foreign Affairs since 13 January 2022.

Foreign relations

Florenia's first formal foreign policy decision consisted in granting recognition to all Grand Unified Micronational member states, a policy which has since been abandoned. The foreign ministry also previously issued statements regarding recognition of macronational state entities, including granting recognition to United Nations member states while withholding recognition from Palestine. Florenia does not presently maintain any official policy of recognition towards macronations and the foreign ministry has abandoned its former outlook of establishing general standards with which to apply recognition of sovereignty.

The Kingdom has, throughout its history, signed treaties with only three nations, though the Florenian government has maintained friendly relations with numerous other foreign governments and officials. Foreign relations have consistently been and still are considered of lesser importance to Florenia's government, and Nathan’s administration has tended to promote internal development as a means for achieving and maintaining a respectable position internationally.
