List of female foreign ministers
Updated: 5/20/2026, 7:03:57 PM Wikipedia source
A foreign minister or minister of foreign affairs (sometimes external affairs minister) is generally a cabinet minister in charge of a nation's foreign policy and relations. There have been many women appointed to this post around the world. This list shows female foreign ministers from around the world, either from sovereign states, unrecognized states, autonomous regions, or sui generis entities. Some countries have varied titles for this particular position, such as minister for external affairs in Brazil and India. In the United States and the United Kingdom, the position is titled as Secretary of State and Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs respectively. In some cases, the prime minister has concurrently served as foreign minister. This was the case with Indira Gandhi and Sirimavo Bandaranaike, who served as prime ministers of India and Ceylon respectively. Sweden has had nine female ministers, a world record.
