Political commentator Hakob Badalyan writes:
"The work of the foreign ministry certainly also implies economic agendas, because international politics is also economics. There is no point in discussing it here.
However, the country that has ever pursued the most economic foreign policy in the world does not add "trade" to the name of its foreign ministry, in any configuration, because the term foreign affairs itself implies a very broad scope. A broad scope, including the economy, foreign economic relations, etc.
Accordingly, it is sufficient that there are only the appropriate departments and specialists in the structure of the foreign ministry, and the fact that trade or economics are absent from the specific name does not absolutely affect the effectiveness of the work.
For example, if it were called the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Space, Armenia would not become a country carrying out space work. Therefore, this trickery of names has one goal: to disambiguate the original meanings. And the original meanings are disambiguated in a case when they already become unnecessary, undesirable.
