The Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Monday refused to declare the amount that it spent last year on official receptions, vehicles and overseas travel, the so-called “three public expenses”, saying that this expenditure was confidential.

It is the first central organ to boycott the government's move to make public the “three public expenses”.

By August 9, 95 ministries and departments have declared their “three public expenses,” representing all the state organs except the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council and the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council.
