PREFACE
The Chiefs of State and Cabinet Members of Foreign Governments directory isintended to be used primarily as a reference aid and includes as many governmentsof the world as is considered practical, some of them not officially recognized bythe United States. Regimes with which the United States has no diplomaticexchanges are indicated by the initials NDE.
Governments are listed in alphabetical order according to the most commonly usedversion of each country’s name. The spelling of the personal names in thisdirectory follows transliteration systems generally agreed upon by US Governmentagencies, except in the cases in which officials have stated a preference foralternate spellings of their names.
NOTE: Although the head of the central bank is listed for each country, inmost cases he or she is not a Cabinet member. Ambassadors to theUnited States and Permanent Representatives to the UN, New York,have also been included.
