Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) -- Afghan President Hamid Karzai announced his new cabinet Saturday, retaining 11 previous ministers.
The announcement, made live on state-run television, named 23 of 25 ministers. Two posts heading the ministries of foreign affairs and the disabled have not yet been named.
The ministers of defense and the interior retained their jobs and are seen as key in the effort to build up Afghanistan's security forces.
Karzai was reelected following a national election marred by voter intimidation and rigging at the polls. Sworn into office in November for another term, the Afghan president is under intense pressure to wipe out corruption that runs rampant in Afghanistan.
The Cabinet reshuffle was being watched closely by the United States and other Western allies as an indication of Karzai's commitment to making his government more transparent.
