The minister is part of the great officers of the state and is a senior member of the Great Council of the State, and Hwabaek. The minister is the third and last in the order of succession to discharge the duties of the office of the chancellor as the acting chancellor should the chancellor be unable to discharge her or his office.

The minister for the center coordinates the administrative, political, civil, economic, and social policy formulation and development of the great council. The position is comparable to the "Chief Presidential Secretary for Policy".

The current minister for the center is Koyomi Araragi.
