Prime Minister Giorgi Kvirikashvili said the portfolio of the State Minister for Diaspora Issues will be folded under the Foreign Ministry in the new cabinet.
Currently, the Georgian Cabinet has 16 full Ministries and three offices of the State Minister. PM does not need to seek legislative approval for abolishing the State Ministry.
PM Kvirikashvili also said he intends to nominate two or three new Ministers for the approval by the newly formed Parliament, although he did not specify which ones.
Speaking to Imedi TV on 29 October he argued no fundamental structural changes will be made in the Cabinet, since "such changes drop the tempo for a certain period of time" but, he said, "inside the individual ministries some structural changes will be made and also we would be very conservative on administrative expenses".
"This would be a cabinet that will bring lots of dynamism to the country," PM promised.
