He said the government’s work is continuing normally with civil servants and state secretaries in place, and stressed the need to begin work without delay.

“Regarding the composition of the government, we will of course take into account the progress made in each sector. We are reviewing the situation, performance and results of each minister in their respective field,” he said.

Uchral also noted that international issues must be considered, saying there are many tasks related to fuel supplies, including trips to Russia and the signing of agreements.
