The minister of foreign affairs of the Kingdom of Tonga is a cabinet minister in charge of His Majesty's Diplomatic Service, formerly the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Tonga. It is responsible for conducting foreign relations of the country. Crown Prince Tupoutoʻa ʻUlukalala has served as foreign minister since 28 January 2025.[1]
Like other ministers, the foreign minister is formally appointed by the king on the nomination of the prime minister and is responsible to both the prime minister and the Legislative Assembly. The position may be held independently or in conjunction with other ministerial responsibilities. From time to time, the prime minister has also served simultaneously as foreign minister.
