The Secretary of State for Foreign and Political Affairs () is the minister responsible for foreign affairs in the Republic of San Marino. Owing to the absence of a prime ministerial office within San MarinoâÂÂs constitutional structure and the prominence of the position, the Secretary for Foreign Affairs is often regarded as the countryâÂÂs de facto head of government and its most senior minister. Although this status is not constitutionally defined, the officeholder is typically a member of the largest party or governing coalition in the Grand and General Council following a general election.
Together with the Secretary of State for Internal Affairs and the Secretary of State for Finance and Budget, the Secretary for Foreign and Political Affairs is one of three members of the Congress of State appointed directly by the Grand and General Council, the unicameral parliament of San Marino.
From 27 December 2016 to 7 January 2020, the office was held by Nicola Renzi of the Adesso.sm coalition. Since 7 January 2020, the Secretary of State for Foreign and Political Affairs has been Luca Beccari of the Sammarinese Christian Democratic Party.
