Meridon conducts foreign policy in the vein of multilateralism and international sovereingnty. Except in extreme cases such as terrorism, rampant violation of basic human rights, or crimes against humanity, Meridon aims to shape its international relations by means of achieving broader geopolitical aims rather than influencing other country's own internal politics or policies.

It is not a member of the World Assembly and does not recognize its authority as a supranational governing association.
