Foreign Policy
Monaco's foreign policy is closely aligned with France through a bilateral treaty of friendship and cooperation. The principality focuses on areas where it can make a distinctive contribution: ocean conservation, marine protected areas, climate change, and the Mediterranean environment.
Monaco is active in the UN Environment Programme, participates in the Barcelona Convention for the Protection of the Mediterranean Sea, and supports various sustainable development initiatives. The principality also engages in humanitarian aid through the Monaco Red Cross and the Prince Albert II Foundation.
MUN Delegate Guide
As Monaco, own the ocean conservation and marine environment niche. Few countries have Monaco's focused expertise and princely-level commitment to oceanography and marine protection. Position yourself as the leading voice on blue economy, marine biodiversity, and Mediterranean environmental cooperation.
Align with France on most political issues given your close bilateral relationship. Build coalitions with other Small Island Developing States (SIDS) and coastal nations on ocean governance.
Stick to your areas of strength -- environmental diplomacy, ocean science, and Mediterranean cooperation. Avoid overextending into security or trade debates where microstates have limited leverage. Use your wealth and philanthropic capacity as soft power tools.
