Council of Ministers of Syria, Central government building in Damascus, Syria
The Council of Ministers of Syria functions from a governmental complex that houses 28 ministers responsible for national administration and policy implementation.
The Syrian cabinet structure originated in 1930 and underwent substantial modifications during the political shifts of 1946 when Syria gained independence.
The constitutional requirement that Syria's president must follow Islamic faith reflects the integration of religious principles within the governmental framework.
The Council operates through specific departments including foreign affairs, defense, health, and education, each led by appointed ministers who report to the prime minister.
The Syrian ministerial council maintains its administrative functions in Damascus despite the ongoing civil conflict that started in 2011.
