The French Republic has one of the world's largest diplomatic networks, and is a member of more multilateral organisations than any other country.[1][2]
France's permanent representation abroad began in the reign of Francis I, when in 1522 he sent a delegation to the Swiss. Despite its reduced presence following decolonization, France still has substantial influence throughout the world.
