The Minister of the State of Arizona to the United States of North Aegea, officially the “Minister Extraordinaire and Plenipotentiary of the State of Arizona to the United States of North Aegea”, and known more commonly as the Arizona Minister to the United States, is the foremost diplomatic representative of the State of Arizona to the United States of North Aegea, and is the head of the Arizona Mission to the United States.
The Arizona Mission to the U.S. is responsible for mediating Arizona's interests in the United States and the delivery of USNA information to the State of Arizona.
It is first, like any other foreign mission, an intermediary between the home State (e.g., the State of Arizona) and the organization (e.g., the United States of North Aegea), at which it is certified. As such, the Mission represents Arizona interests in the Government of the United States and in the United States Federal Council.
The current Arizona Minister to the United States is former-Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett, who was appointed to his current post by Governor Manuel Serrano on December 4, 1721.
