Supreme executive and administrative organ

The supreme executive and administrative organ, also known as the executive organ of the supreme state organ of power and the highest state administrative organ, is, in liberal democratic parlance, the executive organ of communist states. It is also synonymous with the term government, which in communist terminology does not mean the state at large but only its executive and administrative functions. The Council of People's Commissars of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic was the world's first executive and administrative organ of a communist state. Except for Cuba, the other existing communist states of China, Laos, North Korea, and Vietnam designate the supreme executive and administrative organ as an internal organ of the supreme state organ of power. The Cuban state follows the Soviet tradition, and describes the government as a constitutive organ of the unified state apparatus.
