Why is this answer correct?
Under Article 32(1) of the Basic Law, the conduct of relations with foreign states is a matter for the federal government; that is why a federal state has no foreign minister. Baden-Württemberg does have finance, justice and interior ministries, because the states have their own responsibilities there.
Foreign policy is made only by the federal government, never by a state.
