The government reshuffle followed Parliamentary elections and did not result in any significant changes. [1] The most prominent change was the resignation of Hysni Kapo from the government, previously Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers and Minister of Agriculture. Kapo was referred to as "number three" in the state and from then on was only in the Politburo and in the Secretariat of the Central Committee, which he had been a member of since the Party Congress from 1956 belonged. Ramiz Alia, Hoxha's successor after his death, also left the government: he became chairman of the Foreign Affairs Commission of the People's Assembly (Kuvendi Popullor). Koço Theodhosi also replaced the chairman of the State Planning Commission Spiro Koleka, who remained First Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers. Health Minister Manush Myftiu took over the Ministry of Education and Culture from Alia and became a Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers. Gogo Nushi lost the role of Deputy Chairman but remained Minister of Trade and Communications. New to the government was Adil Çarçani, later Prime Minister, who served as Minister for Industry, Mines and Geology.

The break with Moscow and the termination of diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union in 1961 occurred during the government's time.
