Cabinet (1 of 2)
The Council of Ministers is the highest level of government in the Kingdom. The Council of Ministers meets once a week, under the chairmanship of the King.
The phenomenal expansion in governmental activities, along with the Government’s continued effort to enhance services provided for its citizens, has necessitated some growth in the number of ministries, departments and Governmental agencies.
In 1975, the Saudi Cabinet consisted of fourteen ministries represented in the Council of Ministers. The Cabinet formed by Royal Order No. A/236 on 13th October 1975, when King Fahd was Crown Prince, increased the number of ministries from 14 to 20.
