Iraq's parliament has finalised key minister appointments five months after al‑Zaidi's government took office.
The new appointments cover a range of ministries, although the specific portfolios were not disclosed in the brief announcement.
Al‑Zaidi's government was formed five months ago, following a period of negotiation and political manoeuvring that saw the new prime minister take office.
The finalisation of the cabinet is a key step in stabilising the government's functioning and addressing pressing issues facing the country.
The parliament's decision is expected to pave the way for the new cabinet to begin its work and implement policies in Iraq, a country in the Middle East.
