International relations of Catalonia include the promotion of Catalonia and its culture and scientific research, the trade and investments in Catalonia, Catalan interests abroad, the support of the Catalan diaspora and positioning Catalonia internationally as a global, responsible polity.
Although in the Spanish Constitution of 1978 the exclusive competence of international relations depends exclusively on the Government of Spain, the Statute of Autonomy of Catalonia of 2006 contains and describes a series of competences for foreign actions belonging to the Government of Catalonia.
