Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:More citations needed Шаблон:Politics of Colombia The Council of Ministers of the Republic of Colombia is composed of the most senior appointed politicians of the executive branch of the Government of Colombia. Members of the Cabinet are generally the heads of a Ministry Department. The existence of the Cabinet dates back to the first President Simon Bolivar. These members were appointed in order to advise the President and are therefore required to assist him in his duties as stated by the Colombian Constitution.

History
19th century
In the Constitution of 1821, Simón Bolívar created a Cabinet composed of five secretariats:
- Secretariat of the Interior
- Secretariat of the Exterior
- Secretariat of War and Navy
- Secretariat of Finance and Public Credit
With time, areas of some secretariats were given to new institutions; in the mid-19th century, when the Secretariat of Trade was created, this deprived the Secretariat of the Exterior (then renamed Foreign Affairs) of that function.
In 1886, President Rafael Núñez changed their nomenclature from secretariats to ministries, and created new ones, so, in the beginning of the 20th century, after the Thousand Days War, the Council of ministers was composed of:
- Ministry of the Government
- Ministry of Justice
- Ministry of Foreign Affairs
- Ministry of War
- Ministry of Finance
- Ministry of the Treasury
- 1894 - The Ministry of Justice is disbanded.
The Secretary of Trade disappeared; its assignments were transferred to the Vice Ministry of Development, under the control of the Minister of Finance.
