وزير يتولى وزارة لفترة قصيرة إثر استقالة وزير سابق وهنا حرف الجر يشير إلى ما يشبه وزير بالوكالة
Minister of
وزير يشغل منصبه منذ تعيين الحكومة بدون تدوير أو تكليف مرحلي ، أي وزير بالأصالة

Minister for (reply) This seems to be a listing or telling of who took which post and not saying that Nathan Rees is minister of the art. That is why they used for and not of. A further elaboration of the context would probably make it clearer. Thank you all.

Mohamed Kamel Apr 15, 2009:

No difference! They are the same.

Mahmoud Rayyan Apr 15, 2009:

No difference I believe I think you can use الفنون

Mohamed Ghazal (asker) Apr 15, 2009:
