From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cabinet of the United Arab Emirates, more commonly called Council of Ministers (Arabic: مجلس الوزراء), is the chief executive body of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The first cabinet was formed following the union of the UAE as a federation in 1971.[1]

The last reshuffle was on 20 October 2017[2] which was the first reshuffle since 2013.[3]

The heads of four ministries were changed in the reshuffle: Ministry of public works, ministry of energy and two state ministries.[2] In addition, Abdul Rahman bin Mohammed Al Owais, acting health minister and minister of culture, youth and community development, became health minister in the same reshuffle.[4] Hamdan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, public works minister, was appointed minister of higher education and scientific research.[4] He replaced Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, who was appointed minister of culture, youth and community development.[4]
