Context & Explainers
The president can shape the tone of Portugal's foreign policy through speeches, high‑profile meetings and formal powers like accrediting ambassadors, but executive responsibility for daily foreign policy lies with the government (prime minister and foreign minister). In practice the president's influence is political and moral rather than unilateral: strong statements can affect public debate and diplomatic signalling, but major policy shifts require government action or parliamentary support.
