Mexico's incoming president, Enrique Pena Nieto, has named a 20-member cabinet hours before his inauguration.
Only three women will be in government as the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) returns to power after a 12-year absence.
Mr Pena Nieto wants to boost economic growth and cut drug-related violence.
Mexico's foreign minister will be Jose Antonio Meade, who was treasury minister in President Felipe Calderon's outgoing government.
Organised crimeThe PRI governed without interruption for 71 years until 2000, and its opponents often accused it of being authoritarian and corrupt, and of having links to the drug cartels.
But during his election campaign Mr Pena Nieto, 46, was adamant that the PRI had evolved.
"I can say categorically that in my government, there won't be any form of pact or agreement with organised crime," he told the BBC.
"It's not the path nor the route to greater security for the Mexican people."
The new cabinet was presented by the man selected as interior minister, Miguel Angel Osorio Chong, a close friend of the president-elect and former Hidalgo state governor.
He will have what is likely to be one of the most difficult jobs, as Mr Pena Nieto wants to transfer responsibility for co-ordinating the drugs war from the public security ministry to the interior ministry.
One of Mr Osorio Chong's main tasks will be to reduce the country's murder rate. More than 50,000 people have died in Mexico in the fight against drug trafficking in the past six years.
A general, Salvador Cienfuegos Zepeda, will head the defence ministry.
The new finance minister, Luis Videgaray, was in charge of Mr Pena Nieto's presidential campaign and has experience in local government, congress and the private sector.
Pedro Joaquin Coldwell will take the role of energy minister, a key job due to the importance of Mexico's huge oil industry. A former tourism minister, he will oversee plans to open the Pemex oil monopoly to foreign investors.
He has been been leading the PRI for almost a year. But earlier this month, he denied that the party's return to power would be a return to the past. "It is not, because this is a different country," he said.
