A new Mongolian government was proclaimed Wednesday after the country's parliament, the State Great Hural, appointed 12 ministers and other senior leaders nominated by Prime Minister Sanj Bayar.
The new government consists of Bayar and 15 other members. Miyegombo Enkhbold, the prime minister in the previous government, was appointed deputy PM, and Nyamaa Enkhbold, former minister of foreign affairs, became the director of the governmental administration.
Sanjaasuren Oyun, member of the State Great Hural and chairman of the Civil Will Party, was appointed the new minister of foreign affairs.
Two posts were dropped in the new government: the minister responsible for disasters and minister of professional inspection affairs.
Bayar will nominate three other ministers to the State Great Hural very soon.
Mongolia's government was dissolved on Nov. 8 after the country's parliament accepted the resignation of then prime minister Miyegombo Enkhbold.
This is Mongolia's second government resignation since the country's parliamentary elections in 2004, when a coalition government was created between the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party (MPRP) and the second-largest Democratic Party.
The State Great Hural has 76 seats, among which the MPRP has 39and the Democratic Party has 22.
Bayar was elected as the MPRP's chairman at the party's 25th congress in October 2007. The congress also passed a proposal that the chairman should serve as Mongolia's prime minister.
