TAIPEI - Taiwan's incoming Premier Liu Chao-shiuan on Monday unveiled the bulk of his cabinet line-up, with it mostly composed of experienced members of the former Kuomintang government.
"Part of the cabinet has been decided, so we make public the namelist today," Liu told reporters.
Paul Chiu, a former finance minister and now the chairman of EnTie Commercial Bank, was named the upcoming vice premier.
Sixteen other members, among them the economic affairs minister, foreign affairs minister, justice minister and transportation minister, were included in the namelist.
But Liu did not unveil the incoming defence minister and chief of Mainland Affairs Council, the island's top China policy decision-making body.
Ma Ying-jeou of the nationalist party Kuomintang trounced Frank Hsieh of the ruling pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party in a landslide March 22 presidential vote.
Ma's new administration will take office on May 20, succeeding outgoing President Chen Shui-bian who is retiring at the end of his second and final four-year term.
