Ministry of Foreign Affairs

The Ministry is charged with implementing Belize’s foreign policy, directed toward consolidating our nation’s sovereignty, preserving our territorial integrity and protecting our national interests. The Ministry also provides consular assistance to Belizeans and foreigners abroad through a network of 18 overseas missions and 50 consulates worldwide and in Belize through its Belmopan headquarters. Our Protocol Department ensures that precedence and proper procedures are followed in accordance with national and international codes, while the Cooperation Unit strives to strengthen Belize’s bilateral relations with friendly countries and seeks opportunities to obtain assistance to complement the development of the country through these foreign partnerships.
