The Minister of State (French: Ministre d'État) is the head of government of Monaco, being appointed by and subordinate to the Prince or Princess of Monaco. During their term of office, the officeholder is responsible for directing the work of the Monegasque government and is in charge of foreign relations. As the monarch's representative, the Minister of State also presides (with voting powers) over the Council of Government, directs the executive services and commands the police and military.

Since 1 September 2020, Pierre Dartout has been Minister of State.[2]

History of the office

Official residence of Minister of State

The office was created in 1911 with the adoption of Monaco's constitution. Until the revision of the constitution of 2002, the Minister had to be a French citizen,[citation needed] selected from several senior civil servants proposed by the French government. Since 2002, the Minister of State can be either French or Monegasque and is chosen and appointed by the monarch, after consultation with the French government.
