Estoy traduciendo una ley del Ecuador y me aparece "Ministro del Ramo". Alguien me podría explicar a qué se refiere.

relevant Secretary of State
I wonder whether Minister should be used? A Government Minister in English is junior to a Secretary of State. I.e. Defense Secretary in the US, Foriegn Secretary in the UK.
A Minister in Spanish speaking countries is the equivalent, as he/she is the head of the relevant Ministerio (Department).

: You're right. Maybe, however, most international (and British?) readers people understand "Minister" more easily. Thanks for your correction.
