International relations of Catalonia

The International relations of Catalonia conducted by the Catalan Government seek the promotion of Catalonia and Catalan interests overseas by promoting its culture, education and research, economy (including trade and investments), support to the Catalan diaspora and positioning Catalonia internationally as a global, responsible polity. Responsibility for Catalan international relations currently lies with the Ministry of European Union and Foreign Action, established in 2016.

Although according to the Spanish Constitution the exclusive competence on international relations belongs exclusively to the Government of Spain, the Statute of Autonomy of Catalonia amended in 2006 contains and describes a series of devolved powers over foreign action allowed to the Government of Catalonia.
