Council of Ministers (Portugal)

The Council of Ministers (Portuguese: Conselho de Ministros, pronounced [kõˈseʎu ðɨ miˈniʃtɾuʃ]) is a collegial executive body within the Government of Portugal. It is presided over by the Prime Minister, but the President of Portugal can take on this role at the Prime Minister's request. All senior ministers are members of the Council of Ministers, and when the prime minister finds it applicable, state secretaries can also attend its meetings.
