English term or phrase: Department of Foreign Affairs
Hola, estoy traduciendo unos documentos filipinos donde aparece el DFA o Department of Foreign Affairs.

Mi inclinación es a traducirlo como Ministerio de ASUNTOS Exteriores

Pero he visto que en muchas respuestas lo traducen como Ministerio de RELACIONES Exteriores.

Mi pregunta es... ¿Hay alguna diferencia? Y de ser así, ¿cuál es?

Gracias

Explanation:
Si es para España lo traduciría así. Y, si no me equivoco, la otra opción se usa más en América Latina.

Actualmente en España se llama "Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores y de Cooperación".

¡Suerte!
