The interior ministry is a government department responsible for internal affairs within a country. It typically oversees matters related to domestic security, law enforcement agencies, immigration control, civil registration, and sometimes even elections.
Think of the interior ministry as the "home base" of a country. Just like how your home is where you feel safe and secure, the interior ministry ensures the safety and security of a nation within its borders.
Law Enforcement: Law enforcement refers to agencies or organizations responsible for enforcing laws, maintaining public order, and preventing and investigating crimes.
Border Control: Border control involves monitoring and regulating the movement of people, goods, and services across national borders.
Civil Registration: Civil registration is the process by which vital events such as births, deaths, marriages, and divorces are officially recorded by the government.
