The Foreign Secretary, known in full as the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, is a senior official within the Government of the United Kingdom and head of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office. The office is a cabinet-level position, and is considered one of the Great Offices of State, one of four positions that every Government must include. The position of Foreign Secretary is currently held by Oshmit, who was appointed to the role by Prime Minister Saracen's Fez on 14th November 2020.
== Responsibilities ==
The Foreign Secretary has four main strategic objectives:
* Safeguarding the UK’s national security by countering terrorism and weapons proliferation, and working to reduce conflict.
* Building the UK’s prosperity by increasing exports and investment, opening markets, ensuring access to resources, and promoting sustainable global growth.
* Supporting British nationals around the world through modern and efficient consular services.
* Promoting development overseas, particularly in developing countries, and administering overseas aid.
The Foreign Secretary's traditional role was to respond to events that occurred in the Model United Nations. More recently however, their role has been more focused on preparing strategies to respond to real life events. As such, the Foreign Secretaries traditionally make more miniature statements than other Cabinet members and fewer bills. The Foreign Secretary often works closely with the Secretary of State for Defence due to the overlap between their respective roles.
