{{Politics of Belize}}[[Belize]] maintains 14 embassies to foreign countries, one consulate, and three missions to international organizations.<ref name=mfa>{{cite web|url=http://www.mfa.gov.bz/index.php/what-we-do/consular-matters/embassies-consulates|title=Belize embassy|publisher=mfa.gov.bz|access-date=7 March 2014|archive-date=25 July 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190725155117/http://www.mfa.gov.bz/index.php/what-we-do/consular-matters/embassies-consulates|url-status=dead}}</ref> In 1990, Belize became a member of the [[Organization of American States]], and the [[Commonwealth of Nations]] in 1981.

To strengthen its potential for economic and political development, Belize has sought to build closer ties with the Spanish-speaking countries of Central America to complement its historical ties to the English-speaking [[Caribbean]] states. Recent foreign policy initiatives include joining with the other Central American countries in signing the CONCAUSA Agreement on regional sustainable development and becoming a full member of the [[Central American Integration System]] (SICA). Belize is a member of [[CARICOM]] which was founded in 1973.

|{{flag|United States}}||<!--Date started-->||See [[Belize–United States relations]]

Belize-United States relations have traditionally been close and cordial. The United States is Belize's principal [[international trade|trading partner]] and major source of [[Foreign direct investment|investment funds]].  It is also home to the largest Belizean community outside Belize, estimated to be 70,000 strong.  Because Belize's economic growth and accompanying democratic political stability are important U.S. objectives, Belize benefits from the U.S. [[Caribbean Basin Initiative]].

As a member of CARICOM Belize strongly backed efforts by the United States to implement [[United Nations Security Council]] Resolution 940 designed to facilitate the departure of [[Haiti]]'s de facto authorities from power. The country agreed to contribute military personnel to the Multinational Task Force which restored the democratically elected Government of Haiti in October 1994 and to the [[United Nations Mission in Haiti]] (UNMIH).

Belize is also a member of the [[International Criminal Court]] with a Bilateral Immunity Agreement of protection for the American military (as covered under [[Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court|Article 98]]).

[[Transnational crime|International crime]] issues dominate the agenda of bilateral relations between the United States and Belize.  The United States is working closely with the Government of Belize to fight illicit [[narcotics trafficking]], and both governments seek to control the flow of [[Illegal immigration to the United States|illegal migrants to the United States]] through Belize. Belize and the United States brought into force a stolen vehicle treaty, an [[extradition treaty]], and a [[Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty]] between 2001 and 2003.

The United States is the largest provider of [[aid|economic assistance]] to Belize, contributing $2.5&nbsp;million in various bilateral economic and [[military aid]] programs to Belize in FY 2006. Of this amount, nearly $500,000 was provided by the U.S. Military Liaison Office. The [[U.S. Agency for International Development]] (USAID) closed its Belize office in August 1996 after a 13-year program during which USAID provided $110&nbsp;million worth of development assistance to Belize. Belize still benefits from USAID regional programs. In addition, during the past 42 years, almost 2,000 [[Peace Corps]] volunteers have served in Belize. As of April 2007, the Peace Corps had 58 volunteers working in Belize.

Until the end of 2002, [[Voice of America]] operated a [[medium-wave radio]] [[Broadcast relay station|relay station]] in [[Punta Gorda, Belize|Punta Gorda]] that broadcast to the neighboring countries of [[Honduras]], [[Guatemala]], and [[El Salvador]].  The [[U.S. military]] has a diverse and growing assistance program in Belize that included the construction and renovation of several schools and [[youth hostel]]s, medical assistance programs, and drug reduction programs. Private North American investors continue to play a key role in Belize's economy, particularly in the tourism sector.

* Belize has an embassy in [[Washington, D.C.]], and a consulate-general in [[Los Angeles]].

As such, the [[Political status of Taiwan|political status]] of the ROC and the [[legal status of Taiwan]] (alongside the [[Free Area of the Republic of China|territories]] currently under ROC jurisdiction) are in dispute. In 1971, the United Nations gave the [[China and the United Nations|China seat]] to the PRC instead of the ROC: most states recognize the PRC to be the [[One-China policy|sole legitimate representative of all China]], and the UN classifies Taiwan as "[[Taiwan Province, People's Republic of China|Taiwan, Province of China]]". The ROC has ''de facto'' relations with most sovereign states. A significant political movement within Taiwan advocates [[Taiwan independence]]. The Republic of China participates in the [[World Health Organization]] and a number of non-UN international organizations such as the [[World Trade Organization]], [[International Olympic Committee]] and others under a variety of pseudonyms, most commonly [[Chinese Taipei]].</ref> as the sole legitimate government of China.
