The Executive Committee is a smaller body, consisting of the President and Vice Presidents of the Council of State, the Secretary and those ministers chosen by the President. As of 2005, these ministers were:
- the Minister of Economy and Planning
- the Minister of Finances and Prices
- the Minister of Foreign Investment and Economic Cooperation
- the Minister of Labor and Social Security
- the Minister of Metallurgy and Electronics Industry
- the Minister of Science, Technology and the Environment

The Council of Ministers is responsible for the implementation of policy agreements authorized by the National Assembly of People’s Power. These are designated to individual ministries. The council also proposes general plans for economic and social development, which are in turn authorized by the National Assembly twice yearly.
The Council of Ministers also directs Cuba's foreign policy and its relations with other governments; approves international treaties before passing them over for ratification of the Council of State; directs and oversees foreign trade and the State budget. The Council of Ministers enforces laws authorized by the National Assembly, which are passed by the Council of State.
