Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO)

Britain\'s ministry of foreign affairs. Its political head is called the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs; its head official, the Permanent Under-Secretary of State and Head of the Diplomatic Service. The FCO\'s name derives from the merger in 1968 of two former departments, the Foreign Office and the Commonwealth Office (which had earlier been the Commonwealth Relations Office). However, the FCO is now routinely referred to in the media by the earlier and shorter name â€“ â€˜Foreign Officeâ€™. See also Whitehall.
