The Parliament of Mongolia today passed the bill on amendments to the government structure and composition on its first discussion and accompanying bills. The bill was submitted to the State Great Khural by the cabinet led by Prime Minister U.Khurelsukh yesterday, July 6, based on the consent of President Kh.Battulga in compliance with article 39.3 of the Constitution of Mongolia. The same day, parliamentary plenary session and the standing committee on State Structure discussed the proposal with no objection raised for the bill.

The approved bill amendments lay out updated structure of the government cabinet with a total of 14 ministries, including 6 ministries of general function and 8 sectoral ministries as follows.

The new cabinet will have 17 members, including Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister, Head of the Cabinet Secretariat and affiliated ministers.

The former ministry of Education, Culture, Science and Sports is now separated into two ministries as part of the new cabinet for effective implementation of the state policy in areas of culture, science and education, building of a system for restoration of cultural values and proper management of innovation projects and programs. It also sets out to assign the responsibilities of the sports management and policy to the Sports Committee - government regulatory agency under the Prime Minister taking the demand for promotion of public physical activity and improve population health into consideration.
