However, a few surprises:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ts Nyamdorj as Cabinet Secretary.

Former Minister of Health and Minister of Environment in the prior Cabinet, D Sarangerel, who was recently featured in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LKA9UeN5rhk\">a World Health Organization production praising Mongolia&#8217;s COVID-19 response<\/a>, is not in the new cabinet.<\/li>\n<li>While Khurelbaatar and Sarangerel are MPs, N Enkhtaivan is not.
