Council of Ministers of Syria, Central government building in Damascus, Syria
The Council of Ministers of Syria is the executive body in Damascus responsible for governing different sectors of national administration through its various ministerial departments. Each minister oversees their specific portfolio and reports to the prime minister who coordinates the overall direction.
The Syrian cabinet structure was established in 1930 and underwent major changes following independence in 1946. This institution has shaped national governance ever since.
The constitutional requirement that Syria's president must follow Islamic faith reflects the integration of religious principles within the governmental framework.
This is a government institution and is not typically open for casual public visits. Information about official events or guided tours should be sought through official channels.
The Syrian ministerial council maintains its administrative functions in Damascus despite the ongoing civil conflict that started in 2011.
