Until 2012, the title was Minister for Development Cooperation (minister voor Ontwikkelingssamenwerking). Foreign trade and export promotion were handled by another person, a state secretary at the ministry of Economic Affairs. Internationally, the state secretary was allowed to use the title of minister. In 2010 both posts were merged, first as a state secretary; two years later there was a minister again.
