{{Short description|none}} {{Use dmy dates|date=April 2019}} {{Politics of Portugal}} '''Foreign relations of Portugal''' are linked with its historical role as a major player in the [[Age of Discovery]] and the holder of the now defunct [[Portuguese Empire]]. [[Portugal]] is a [[European Union]] member country and a founding member of [[NATO]]. It is a committed proponent of [[European integration]] and [[transatlantic relations]]. [[João Gomes Cravinho]] is the current [[Minister of Foreign Affairs (Portugal)|Minister of Foreign Affairs of Portugal]]. ==Historical== Historically, the focus of Portuguese diplomacy has been to preserve its independence, ''vis-à-vis'', the danger of [[annexation]] by [[Spain]], and the maintenance of the [[Anglo-Portuguese Alliance]], which officially came into being in 1386, and with the [[United Kingdom]] as a [[Succession of states|successor]] to [[Kingdom of England|England]], it is still in place today. Other goals have also been constant such as the political stability of the [[Iberian Peninsula]] and the affirmation of Portuguese interests in [[Europe]] and the [[Atlantic]] (also in the [[Indian Ocean|Indian]] and [[Pacific Ocean]]s throughout different moments in history). ==International organizations== [[File:Flickr - europeanpeoplesparty - EPP Sumiit 15 May 2006 (3).jpg|thumb|240px|[[Angela Merkel]] and [[José Manuel Barroso]]]] Portugal was a founding member of [[NATO]] (1949), [[Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development]] (1961), and [[European Free Trade Area]] (1960); it left the latter in 1986 to join the [[European Economic Community]], which would become the [[European Union]] (EU) in 1993. In 1996, it co-founded the [[Community of Portuguese Language Countries]] (CPLP). The country is a member state of the [[United Nations]] since 1955. Recently, the primacy of the United States and inter-governmental organizations such as NATO and the [[United Nations]] have also been paramount in the affirmation of Portugal abroad. Portugal has been a significant beneficiary of the EU. It was among the top beneficiaries of the [[EU-15]] between 1995 and 2004 (only behind Spain and [[Greece]] in absolute terms, and behind [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]] and Greece in a [[per capita]] basis).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.euractiv.com/en/enlargement/germany-sweden-largest-net-contributors-eu-budget/article-116165|title=Germany and Sweden largest net contributors to EU budget|website=euractiv.com|access-date=3 December 2008|archive-date=31 December 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171231041656/http://www.euractiv.com/en/enlargement/germany-sweden-largest-net-contributors-eu-budget/article-116165|url-status=dead}}</ref> Portugal is a proponent of [[European integration]] and held the presidency of the European Union for the second time during the first half of 2000, and again in the second half of 2007. Portugal used its term to launch a dialogue between the EU and [[Africa]] and to begin to take steps to make the European economy dynamic and competitive. In 2002, the [[euro]] began to circulate as Portugal's currency. [[José Sócrates]], as [[Prime Minister of Portugal]], presided over the rotative [[Presidency of the Council of the European Union]] for the period July–December 2007.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.eu2007.pt/UE/vEN/ |title=EU Presidency |access-date=16 May 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110411175943/http://www.eu2007.pt/UE/ven/ |archive-date=11 April 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref> In this post, Sócrates and his team focused on the EU-[[Brazil]] ([[1st EU-Brazil summit]]) and EU-[[African Union]] ([[2007 Africa-EU Summit]]) relations, as well as in the approval of the [[Treaty of Lisbon]]. Portugal was a founding member of NATO; it is an active member of the alliance by, for example, contributing proportionally large contingents in [[Balkans|Balkan]] peacekeeping forces. Portugal proposed the creation of the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP) to improve its ties with other Portuguese-speaking countries. Additionally, Portugal has participated, along with Spain, in a series of [[Ibero-American Summit]]. Portugal held the chairmanship of the [[Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe]] (OSCE) for the year 2002. The chairman-in-office was Portuguese Foreign Minister [[António Martins da Cruz]]. ==Disputes== Portugal holds claim to the disputed territory of [[Olivenza|Olivença]] on the [[Portugal-Spain border]]. == International visits == * [[List of international prime ministerial trips made by António Costa]] == Diplomatic relations == List of countries which Portugal maintains diplomatic relations with: {| class="wikitable sortable" ! colspan="3" |[[File:Diplomatic relations of Portugal.svg|frameless|425x425px]] |- !# !Country !Date<ref name=":3">{{Cite web |title=Países |url=https://portaldiplomatico.mne.gov.pt/relacoesbilaterais/paises |access-date=2 July 2022 |language=pt}}</ref> |- |1 |{{flag|Spain}} |{{dts|5 October 1143}} |- |2 |{{flag|United Kingdom}} |{{dts|9 May 1386}} |- |— |{{flag|Holy See}} |{{dts|12 February 1481}}<ref>{{Cite web |title=Nunciature to Portugal |url=https://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/diocese/dxxpt.html |access-date=7 January 2024}}</ref> |- |3 |{{flag|France}} |{{dts|7 January 1485}} |- |4 |{{flag|Netherlands}} |{{dts|February 1641}} |- |5 |{{flag|Denmark}} |{{dts|18 March 1641}}<ref name=":8">{{cite book |author1=Damião Peres, Manuel Paulo Merêa |title=História de Portugal, segundo o programa oficial para as classes VI e VII do ensino secundário |date=1920 |page=215 |language=pt}}</ref> |- |6 |{{flag|Sweden}} |{{dts|10 June 1641}} |- |7 |{{flag|Russia}} |{{dts|24 October 1779}} |- |8 |{{flag|United States}} |{{dts|13 May 1791}}<ref name=":4">{{Cite web |title=A Guide to the United States' History of Recognition, Diplomatic, and Consular Relations, by Country, since 1776: Portugal |url=https://history.state.gov/countries/portugal |access-date=7 July 2022}}</ref> |- |9 |{{flag|Argentina}} |{{DTS|28 July 1821}}<ref>{{Cite book |last=Suárez |first=José León |title=Revista argentina de derecho internacional |year=1920 |pages=77 |language=es}}</ref> |- |10 |{{flag|Brazil}} |{{dts|29 August 1825}} |- |111 |{{flag|Belgium}} |{{dts|8 August 1834}}<ref>{{Cite web |title=Bélgica - Titulares |url=https://portaldiplomatico.mne.gov.pt/relacoesbilaterais/paises-geral/titulares/belgica-titulares |access-date=29 July 2024 |language=pt}}</ref> |- |12 |{{flag|Greece}} |{{dts|22 July 1835}}<ref name=":12">{{Cite web |title=GREECE LIBERATED.

Luís de Fróis, in his History of Japan (which includes ten chapters on Korea), Tomé Pires, in his Summa Oriental, Fernão Mendes Pinto, celebrated author of The Peregrination, Fernão Vaz Dourado, Gaspar Vilela, or father Manuel Teixeira, are some of the authors and cartographers where numerous references to Korea can be found. ** On the basis of toponyms related to Korea found in texts written and charts drawn by Portuguese travelers and cartographers, Korean historians have attributed to the Portuguese the introduction of Korea to the Western world. ** Thus, Portugal and Korea can trace their relations back to the era when Portugal played a pioneering role in opening the sea routes between Europe and Asia, between East and West, setting out the first wave of globalization and fostering multiform contacts and exchanges between different civilizations that became the hallmark of the modern world. ** Today, the relations between Portugal and Korea stand on solid grounds, built upon an extensive network of bilateral agreements and political visits at high level, as well as on a growing exchange of people to people contacts. With Asia taking centerpiece place in the world economy and Korea playing a leading role in Asia, trade and relations between both countries are expected to develop further. * On the sidelines of their meeting on 10 April the South Korean Foreign Minister [[Yun Byung-se]] and his Portuguese counterpart Rui Machete signed the Memorandum of Understanding between [[South Korea]] and Portugal concerning a [[Working Holiday Program]]. * The [[Memorandum of understanding]] (MOU) was brought into force on 10 April 2014, allowing an annual 200 youngsters aged 18–30 of each country to stay in the other country for up to one year traveling and working. * South Korea is the first country Portugal has concluded such an MOU with The bilateral MOU is expected to offer opportunities to future leaders of the two countries to better understand each other's cultures and promote exchanges and cooperation between the two countries.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.mofa.go.kr/ENG/countries/europe/countries/20070823/1_24606.jsp?menu=m_30_40 |title=Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Republic of Korea |access-date=15 November 2015 |archive-date=24 December 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131224080357/http://www.mofa.go.kr/ENG/countries/europe/countries/20070823/1_24606.jsp?menu=m_30_40 |url-status=dead }}</ref> * Portugal has an embassy in Seoul.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.seul.embaixadaportugal.mne.pt/pt/|title=Embaixada de Portugal na Coreia do Sul|access-date=15 May 2019|archive-date=21 March 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190321083939/https://www.seul.embaixadaportugal.mne.pt/pt/|url-status=dead}}</ref> * South Korea has an embassy in Lisbon.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://overseas.mofa.go.kr/pt-ko/index.do|title = 주 포르투갈 대한민국 대사관}}</ref> |- valign="top" |{{flag|Thailand}}||{{dts|10 February 1859}}<ref name=":9" />|| * Portugal has an embassy in [[Bangkok]]. * Thailand has an embassy in Lisbon. |- valign="top" |{{flag|Timor-Leste}}||{{dts|20 May 2002}}<ref name=":3" />||See [[Portugal–Timor-Leste relations]].
