Why is this answer correct?
Foreign policy is the responsibility of the federal government alone (Article 32 of the Basic Law); that is why Saxony has no ministry of foreign affairs. Justice, finance and the interior, by contrast, are the state's own portfolios, headed by its own ministers.
Only the federal government conducts foreign policy – no foreign minister in a state.
