Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
@David1992 But the U.S. minister of foreign affairs is called “Secretary of State”. So in this case only the title is different but it's actually the same?

Ah, maybe I should have clarified that my explanation was only for the UK.
But yes, the US Secretary of State would be the equivalent of “Foreign Minister”.
