The Cabinet of Iraq (officially called the Council of Ministers) is the executive branch of the government of Iraq.
The National Assembly of Iraq elects a President of State who along with two deputies form the Presidency Council. The Presidency Council appoints the Prime Minister who appoints the Council of Ministers, all of whom must be approved by the Assembly. At least one former government ministry, the Information Ministry, no longer exists.
[edit] Current Council of Ministers
The current cabinet was approved by the Assembly on 21 December 2010, following the general election in March 2010. The names of thirty five ministers were approved, with the other posts filled by temporary ministers pending agreement about the permanent ministers.
