# Minister of State (Monaco)

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

## History of the office

The office was created in 1911 with the adoption of Monaco's constitution. Until the 2002 constitutional revision, the prime minister had to be a French citizen, selected from several senior civil servants proposed by the Government of France. Since 2002, the prime minister can be either French or Monegasque and is chosen and appointed by the monarch, after consultation with the Government of France. It remains the Government of France's prerogative to propose an appointee.
