The move came after Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Dang Quoc Khanh stepped down due to violating the Party regulations in performing assigned duties and tasks.
On August 3, the Party Central Committee agreed to relieve Dang Quoc Khanh from his position of a member of the 13th Party Central Committee.
Currently, the ministry has four Deputy Ministers namely Ms. Nguyen Thi Phuong Hoa, Mr. Tran Quy Kien, Mr. Le Cong Thanh and Mr. Le Minh Ngan./.
