Republic of China (Taiwan)
In the Executive Yuan of the Republic of China there are several such ministers, at one time. Currently, the ROC's ministers without portfolio are:
- Ovid Tzeng (曾志朗)
- Chang Jin-fu (張進福)
- Kao Su-po (高思博), also serving as Minister of Mongolian and Tibetan Affairs
- Fan Liang-shiow (范良琇), also serving as Minister of Public Construction Commission
- James Cherng-Tay Hsueh (薛承泰), also serving as Governor of Fujian Province
- Liang Chi-yuan (梁啟源)
- Lin Junq-tzer (林政則), also serving as Governor of Taiwan Province
One of these posts is typically, but not always, reserved for the chairperson of the important Council for Economic Planning and Development, who is usually considered a cabinet member but not officially so, and so requires the post to have the actual powers of a cabinet member.
