Five new "super ministries" are expected to be set up in the new round of government reorganizing. And a national energy commission will be established.

The five new "super ministries" are industry and information, human resources and social security, environmental protection, housing and urban-rural construction, and transportation.

To strengthen management on the energy sector, a high-level inter-ministerial consultation and coordinating body, the national energy commission, is also to be established.

After this reorganization, the State Council will have 27 ministries and commissions, instead of the current 28.

President Hu Jintao vowed to accelerate the reform of the administrative system and build a service-oriented government at the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) last October.
