The second cabinet of Min Aung Hlaing is the current cabinet.

Qualifications

The 2008 Constitution of Myanmar stipulates that Union Ministers must be Burmese citizens who have been living in the country for at least ten consecutive years:

1. persons who have attained the age of 40 years;
2. persons who have qualifications, with the exception of the age limit, prescribed in Section 120 for Pyithu Hluttaw representatives;
3. persons whose qualification does not breach the provisions under Section 121 which disqualify a person from standing for election as Pyithu Hluttaw representatives;
4. persons loyal to the Union and its citizens

The Commander-in-Chief appoints the Ministers of Defence, Home Affairs and Border Affairs, selecting candidates from within the Defence Services (Tatmadaw), while the President appoints the remainder.

The President also appoints the Deputy Ministers of the respective ministries, following the same qualifications as those for Union Ministers, with the exception of age (35 years, instead of 40).
