During their term of office, the officeholder is responsible for directing the work of the government and in charge of foreign relations.

History of the office
edit
The office was created in 1911 with the adoption of Monaco's constitution. Until the 2002 constitutional revision, the prime minister had to be a French citizen, selected from several senior civil servants proposed by the Government of France. Since 2002, the prime minister can be either French or Monegasque and is chosen and appointed by the monarch, after consultation with the Government of France.[2] It remains the Government of France's prerogative to propose an appointee.
