Two ministries were restructured by the parliament on Wednesday. 

While the new government will see two deputy prime ministers along with 11 ministries, two important ministries have been reorganized. 

A new Ministry of Mining and Energy has been created to replace the Ministry of Industry and Trade. This is seen as recognition by the government of the vast potential wealth available to the country through the mining sector. 

Also, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will be replaced by a newly created Ministry of External Relations. The new ministry will deal with economic matters as well as foreign affairs. 

In the June 29 national elections, the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party (MPRP) won 44 seats and the Democratic Party won 26 seats in the 76-member parliament.
