	Secretary of State - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In France, a Secretary of State is a junior minister, responsible to a minister or the Prime Minister.
		According to the constitution, secretaries of state may be instated and fired by Royal Order (which means by the minister), but in practice these positions are usually created and held for the duration of the cabinet and they can even be used as bargaining chips in coalition negotiations.
		In the individual states of the United States, the Secretary of State is an administrative officer responsible for a variety of governmental functions, depending on the constitution and laws of the particular state.

	[30 Jun 1999]: PRESS CONFERENCE BY SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
		She said her Government had given an increased commitment to international development, both financially and substantively, so that when positions on trade, investment and debt were taken, development interests could be considered, particularly as they related to British interests.
		The international community should also take a less punitive attitude and offer help to women who had resorted to illegal abortions, and recognize that if reproductive health care is a human right and a women's right, then basic health-care systems should be in place throughout the developing world.
		She noted that the Cairo Conference had been an important milestone in changing attitudes to population, as the international community moved beyond an obsession with numbers and population control to a concentration on the rights and well-being of people, including the poorest people, especially women and children.

		No international workers are inside Afghanistan, they left after 11 September, not because of ensuing military activity but because the Taliban were making life impossible and endangering international workers but Afghan staff of all the UN agencies and all the NGOs are still there.

	Secretary of State for International Development to address February General Synod \| Church of England
		This major report, from the Mission and Public Affairs Council, looks at developments in church planting since l994 and at fresh expressions of Church, as new patterns of church community are established in the context of contemporary society.
		HIV/AIDS is a global epidemic, which threatens human life, dignity and development; whilst it is a global problem, it is having a disproportionate impact on Africa, where its spread has undermined communities and reversed national economic and social development.
		The Council proposes that this report should be considered as a continuation of the statements on authority which were considered by Synod in l986, and that contentious doctrinal issues should continue to be studied in the context of the developing, lived relationship between Anglicans and Roman Catholics, as reflected in local ecumenism and inter-church dialogue.
