appointed as the Chief of Cabinet Secretariat.
The appointments were made in light of the professional
qualifications of the nominees. The Steering Committee of the Mongolian
People’s Party concluded that certain ministers of the previous cabinet had to be
reappointed as it had been stated that the new cabinet would continue with the
major railroad, mining, and oil refinery projects launched by the previous
cabinet of former Prime Minister U.Khurelsukh and that it is important to make
balanced appointments rather than appointing only new faces at this critical
time when the country is fighting COVID-19 outbreaks and facing economic
challenges.
