Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores
 
Ministry of Foreign Office or Foreign Affairs? Is it correct if I omit the word "Ministry"?

Thanks. :)

(UK) Foreign Office
(US) State Department
(Many foreign countries) Ministry of Foreign Affairs

En general creo que solemos traducir los nombres de ministerios bastante literalmente cuando se trata de un ministerio extranjero.

I don't have to add "Ministry" to "Foreign Office", I guess.

No, that would be incorrect, because office is used as a synonym for ministry in this case.

@Crotalito: Cuando se trata del Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores (el equivalente de la Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores mexicana), la traducción de "Asuntos"/"Relaciones" es "affairs". "Business" se entiende más como "negocios".
"Exterior", en inglés no es suficientemente claro con respecto a las relaciones con países extranjeros, así que se prefiere la palabra "foreign".
