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