Foreign Affairs Council

A foreign affairs council is a group of people who work together to decide how a country should handle its relationships with other countries. They make sure that the country understands the other countries' interests and tries to find ways to work together peacefully and productively. The council usually works closely with the country's leaders and helps them to make sure that decisions about international relations are made in the best interest of the country.
