The Ministry of Land and Resources was not abolished, but merged with other units to form the Ministry of Natural Resources.
The reason for the merger is to build a government governance system with clear rights and responsibilities and administration according to law, improve government execution and build a service-oriented government that people are satisfied with.
According to the principle that people follow their responsibilities, all the staff of the Ministry of Land and Resources are assigned to the Ministry of Natural Resources, and their salaries remain unchanged, but the relevant subsidies will change.
