Govt sets up Defence Administration Office

The government has set up a Defence Administration Office, the government’s information centre told MTI late on Wednesday.

The new office, set up as part of the country’s “defence and security administration reform”, will be subordinated to the prime minister’s cabinet chief, Antal Rogán, the centre said.

The office aims to increase the country’s security, manage defence and security administration tasks, as well as coordination of preparations for crisis management and tasks under a special legal order, the centre said.

The office will start its operations on November 1 as a central defence and security agency.
