What is foreign policy? Foreign policy or foreign relations refers to how a government deals with other countries. We also call it foreign affairs policy. Foreign policy includes such matters as trade and defence. The government chooses its foreign affairs policy to safeguard the interests of the nation and its citizens. Put simply, foreign policy is the strategy that the government adopts in dealing with other countries. Foreign policy includes the general objectives that guide the relationships and activities of one country in its interactions with other nations. Typically the Foreign Minister, Head of Government and Cabinet, create the government's foreign policy. In the US and the UK the Foreign Minister equivalents are the Secretary of State and Foreign Secretary. When two leaders are especially friendly there are warm relations between the two countries. Foreign policy's main goal is the protection of its citizens when they are at home and abroad. Another goal is to contribute to the protection of the country's allies. In other words, nations to which the country is mutually supportive and friendly. Foreign policy also focuses on protecting the country and its people from international threats and dangers.
