Minister of Foreign Affairs (Colombia)

The Minister of Foreign Affairs (Chancellor) is a member of the executive branch of the national government of Colombia and head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Colombia. The incumbent is one of the highest-ranking members of the president's cabinet and ranks fifth in Colombian line of presidential succession among cabinet ministers.

Created in 1821 with Pedro Gual Escandón as its first office holder, the Minister of Foreign Affairs represents Colombia to foreign countries and is therefore considered analogous to a Chancellor in other countries. The Minister of Foreign Affairs is appointed by the President of Colombia and serves at his discretion, defending the respective interests of the presidential administration. The Minister of Foreign Affairs, along with the Minister of the Interior, the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Justice and the Minister of Defense, are generally considered the five most important cabinet members due to the importance of their respective ministries.
