The Ministry of the Overseas (French: Ministère des Outre-mer) is a ministry of the Government of France, responsible for overseeing the overseas departments, collectivities and territories of the French Republic. It is headed by the Minister of the Overseas, Jean-François Carenco, since July 2022.
History
Originally part of the Ministry of the Navy as a secretariat, it became a formal ministry on 20 March 1894 as the Ministry of the Colonies (French: Ministère des Colonies), by a law of the government of Jean Casimir-Perier.[3]
By a decree of 26 January 1946, its name was changed to the current Ministry of Overseas.[4]
