Austria's far-right has secured the interior, defence and foreign ministries in the new coalition government with the conservatives, Freedom Party (FPOe) head and future vice-chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache said Saturday.

Future chancellor Sebastian Kurz's People's Party (OeVP) party will have the finance, economy and justice ministries, Kurz said. "The president was clear that he wanted the justice and interior ministries to be held by different parties," Kurz said
