I believe this usage arose from a desire not to give offense and is of
quite recent vintage, the word foreign having acquired a nasty set of
connotations during the 50's early 60's; it is first in reading
articles, books etc. from the late seventies that I notice International
replacing foreign.

International, although an Americanism, has I think been at least
somewhat appropriated by proper British Firms, at least in marketing
texts and such like.

Is the Foreign Office still called the Foreign Office?

Sure, Like an International Lover.

Actually I think what was once International may be moving into
Multinational.
