Iran’s parliament approved on Monday a bill on merging the ministries of oil and energy, reported the official Iranian news agency.
The merger is part of a plan on “trimming the state sector and reduction of parallel state bodies which often compete for influence and resources,” said a parliamentary source.
Iran has merged the former ministry of industries and the
former ministry of mines and metals into the ministry of industries
and mines and also amalgamated the former ministries of agriculture and construction jihad into the ministry of agricultural jihad – Albawaba.com
