Extract

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office provides the means of communication for the discussion and negotiation of all matters within the field of international relations between the British Government and other governments and international organisations. Its diplomatic missions are responsible for protecting British citizens and interests overseas, and for explaining British policies to, and cultivating friendly relations with, governments in foreign and Commonwealth countries. The F.C.O. is also entrusted with the discharge of British responsibilities in the associated states and the administration of the remaining dependent territories. The primary functions of the Ministry of Overseas Development are to formulate and carry out policies to help the economic development of less developed countries, and to administer the British programme of development aid.
