Alexander Schallenberg has taken over as the chancellor of Austria, with the government seeking to move on from a corruption scandal.
The foreign minister was sworn in on Monday after his predecessor, Sebastian Kurz, quit over corruption allegations.
Mr Kurz and nine others were placed under investigation after raids linked to his conservative People’s Party (ÖVP).
He denies claims he used government funds to buy favourable media coverage.
