THE Ministry of Foreign Affairs will not publish its spending on overseas travels, receptions, entertainment and car use as it involves national secrets, Beijing News reported today.
The ministry became the first central government department that clearly stated it wouldn't disclose the expenditure in the three aspects.
At an anti-graft meeting on March 24, the State Council, China's Cabinet, announced that all government departments were to publish their expenditures in the three categories by the end of June. It reiterated the order on May 4.
It was part of its efforts to root out corruption and promote clean government.
An official with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the ministry's decision didn't go against the order of the State Council. The ministry's condition was special and it was not appropriate to announce its budget.
