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 Halland 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.

Policy positions

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 Iustians, Auratians, Poveglians, Vespasians, Weranians, Caldish and, to some lesser extent, Gaullicans, Hennish and Estmerish. There also were substantial immigrant groups from Senria and Xiaodong, 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.

Halland

Halland 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 Hallandic 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 Hallandic interests.

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

Maracao

As the sole independent Iustian-speaking country in the world after Belmonte, Maracao had relatively positive relations during the 19th and early-20th centuries, albeit a very apathetic one. This was immediately changed after the Liberação and the establishment of a socialist state on the island, with Belmonte, at the time under the Sword's Republic, cutting all forms of relationship and aligning with other anti-Maracan countries in the Arucian. It was only in the 90s that relations started to become normalized, a process which remains very behind even in modern times.

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.
