Syria's interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa announced the formation of a new government late Saturday, reaffirming his commitment to "building a strong and stable state."
Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Shaibani and Defense Minister Murhaf Abu Qasra, both loyal to al-sharaa, retain their posts in the new government.
The head of General Intelligence, Anas Khattab, also close to Mr. Chareh, has been appointed Minister of the Interior.
Former Bashar al-Assad opponent Hind Kabawat was appointed Minister of Social Affairs and Labor. She was a member of the preparatory committee for the “national dialogue conference” held in February.
Mr. Chareh also announced that new ministries had been created for Sports and Youth, as well as for Emergency and Disaster Management.
Day to day affairs in Syria have been administered by a ministerial team since president Bashar al-Assad was ousted by Islamist rebels on December 8.
