Ministry of Foreign Affairs

The Department of Foreign Affairs is a federal Lovian ministry concerned with foreign relations, foreign policy, diplomacy, and international representation. The incumbent minister is Semyon Breyev.

Foreign relations
The purpose of the Ministry of FA is to monitor the foreign relations of Lovia and advise Congress on important legislation concerning the international position of Lovia. 'Foreign relations' comprises several fields of action amongst which diplomatic recognition, conflict resolution and international trade are the most important. Lovia has remained isolationist for the bigger part of its history, only establishing big trade treaties after the Second World War and never directly interfering with another nation's policy.

Most Lovians like to think globally and consider themselves to be 'citizens of the world'. These views are an inherent part of the Lovian society which is a mixture of various cultural backgrounds. This attitude goes so far that Lovian diplomats often consider themselves to be more close to the host nation then to Lovia itself. A general oversight of Lovia's relation with other countries can be found here.

Embassies of the wikinations
All nations recognized by the Lovian government are entitled to an embassy on Lovian soil. This embassy is considered to fall within the jurisdiction of the occupying country and functions as first contact between that nation and Lovia. An ambassador is appointed in consultation with the national government and has the right to perform diplomatic acts. A list of all embassies of wikinations in Lovia: The Department of FA is still looking for a Libertan ambassador. Also, Lovia does not yet have any embassies of its own. Currently the national ambassadors function as first contact between Lovia and other nations. The Secretary of FA is considered a 'high ambassador' who may perform diplomatic acts under the approval of Congress.
