The Ministry of Talents, also known as Bogra administration, was the third government and cabinet of Pakistan formed by Mohammad Ali Bogra on 17 April 1953 and later expanded on 24 October 1954.
During the Bogra government, the Cabinet took several decisions related to Pakistan–United States relations. During a visit by United States Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles, the Cabinet determined that Pakistan would not enter into any arrangement obligating it to participate in a war in the event of an attack on NATO countries.
The Cabinet also agreed that Pakistan's position would take into account the extent to which its disputes with India were addressed. In addition, it decided that the Commander-in-Chief would be permitted to meet with Dulles to exchange information, while policy decisions would remain the responsibility of the Cabinet.
