The Minister is assisted in all policy-related activities by Deputy Ministers and Undesecretaries who are assigned to a variety of areas of competence.
The Deputy Ministers and Undesecretaries avail themselves of the support of Secretariats that coordinate appointments, correspondence and individual relations with other public and private actors as regards their commitments; they also ensure the necessary liaison with the offices of the Ministry and with other offices that work in direct collaboration with the Ministry.
