English term or phrase: permanent secretary
Un document emis în Mauritius de către Biroul prim-ministrului este semnat de ”Permanent Secretary of the Prime Minister's Office”. Am văzut că pe Wiki este folosită expresia în română ”secretar permanent”: https://ro.qwe.wiki/wiki/Permanent_Secretary, dar pe site-uri oficiale am văzut că e tradusă și drept ”ministru adjunct”: http://www.mae.ro/node/45374. Oare ar merge și traducerea ”secretar de stat în cadrul biroului primului-ministru”?

neutral  Erzsébet Czopyk: the question was: Oare ar merge și traducerea ”secretar de stat în cadrul biroului primului-ministru”? "Am văzut că pe Wiki este folosită expresia în română ”secretar permanent”..." I see no difference and no explanation at all, just a dot.

  -> Dear Erzsèbet, I'm very aware of what the question is. My answer is also a way of saying that my opinion is slightly different and, at the same time, offering my 2 cents.

Explanation:
The one is boiled egg, the other is scrambled egg.

The Office of the Prime Minister supports the Prime Minister. It has a - formal and informal - coordination role.

The Permanent Secretary to the Office of the Prime Minister is paractically, the Head of the Office.
Permanent State Secretary directs the administration of the Office of the Prime Minister. This is an absolutely administrative function.

The State Secretary is a political appointment which changes with the Prime Minister.

Secretary of State: in several countries, for example in the USA, State of Delaware, the Secretary of State is a function equal to the Minister of the Foreign Affairs.

Prime Minister's Office

Secretary to Cabinet
The Secretary to Cabinet shall be responsible, in accordance with such instructions as may be given to him by the Prime Minister, for arranging the business for, and keeping the minutes of, the Cabinet or any of its committees and for conveying the decisions of the Cabinet or any of its Committees to the appropriate person or authority, and shall have such other functions as the Prime Minister may direct.

Secretariat and Supporting Staff
The Cabinet Office functions under the supervision of the Secretary to Cabinet. It processes all documents to be considered by Cabinet. In processing a document, the Office has to pay special attention to the drafting, presentation and the quality thereof.

By the way, the current Governor-General of Mauritius, the Honourable Dayendranath Burrenchobay served as Permanent Secretary at the Prime Minister's Office between 1967 and 1976.

No, no, and no. Please translate and do not force me to approve your "equivalents". Also please make sure to insert a link correctly - your link is not clickable and leads nowhere because a comma was left

To Liviu: I know there are no Ministers of Foreign Affairs for the states of the US. The powers of the Secretary of the State are de facto equal => corresponds to this office. I hope now you can agree with me.

Notes to answerer
Asker: "The Permanent Secretary to the Office of the Prime Minister is practically, the Head of the Office." - Okay, so does that correspond to "Șeful cancelariei prim-ministrului”, then? (https://sgg.gov.ro/new/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Organigrama-CPM.pdf)

neutral  Liviu-Lee Roth: In the US, the state Secretary of State is more like the Minister of Interior; ad-tive work, elections, notaries etc. Each state has different rules.
