Belmonte is one of the most important political and economic powers of Asteria, having a strong influence over decision-making in the region. The Secretary of Foreign Affairs is responsible for leading Belmontese diplomatic efforts throughout the world, with its foreign policy reflecting Belmonte's position on the international stage as it is centred around core national interests such as national security, anti-terrorism and economic multilateralism while using a soft power approach.

Belmonte is considered to be a regional and middle power and is closely aligned with Marchenia and the Euclean Community on a variety of issues whilst having positive relations with the majority of nations in the world, especially on the areas of economic cooperation and finances.

Climate change

The first mention of climate change from the Belmontese government came in 1988, during the premiership of Félix Bragança, in which was declared that the country "should, in the next years, find ways to reduce its contribution towards climate change and environmental degradation." Since then, every government supported further international cooperation to stop climate change, with Belmonte itself being the place for several climate conferences to deal with the issue.

Refugees and asylum-seekers

Belmonte received almost four million immigrants throughout its history, from colonial times to the present day. Many of these immigrants came from Euclean countries, the majority of them being Luzelese, Esmeirans, Poveglians, Vespasians, Weranians, Caldish and, to some lesser extent, Gaullicans, Hennish and Estmerish. There also were substantial immigrant groups from Senria and Shangea, as well as Bahian peoples who were forcefully emigrated from their continent to become slaves. Given Belmonte's multicultural and miscegenated people, there is no immigration barriers or quotas whilst the law accepts any refugees and asylum-seekers that flees its country of origin due to persecution on account of its colour, religion or ethnicity, with said refugees being able to apply for Belmontese citizenship.

Tsabaran Civil War

After the outbreak of sectarian conflict in Tsabara, the Secretary of Foreign Affairs condemned the widespread violence and religious fundamentalism on both sides, supporting the federal government and the return of the democratic confessionalist system.

Marchenia

Marchenia is considered to be Belmonte's principal ally and commercial partner, with the alliance being officially created on the aftermath of the Great War in 1935. During the conflict, the Marchenian Armed Forces heavily supported both the Belmontese government located at its national redoubt and the Belmontese People's Front in occupied areas, with the alliance expanding to other areas such as trade, finances, military and foreign policy. The friendship reached its height in the 60s, during the premiership of Lourenço Bittencourt, in which Belmonte became totally aligned with Marchenian interests.

It was only in the 80s, with the election of Félix Bragança, that Belmonte started to have its independent foreign policy, despite remaining having a close relationship. Currently, both countries have extremely positive relations that hold significant influence over Asterian Inferior geopolitics, avoiding a Satucin-based political hegemony in the region.

Chistovodia

Belmontese-Chistovodian relations always were cold due to its socialist regime. However, a normalization of relations between both countries has been underway since the 90s as well, especially under the areas of trade and scientific cooperation.
