external affairs
International governmental dealings
External affairs are matters involving relationships with entities outside one's own organization, nation, or group—most commonly a country's diplomatic relations with foreign governments.
A ministry or department of external affairs handles international diplomacy, treaties, and foreign policy.
The term also appears in corporate contexts for public relations and government liaison functions: She works in external affairs for the pharmaceutical company.
