The position is often likened to that of a vice president, but is significantly different, though both positions are "number two" offices.

  • A Deputy Prime Minister or Vice Prime Minister is, in some countries, a government minister who can take the position of acting Prime Minister when the Prime Minister is temporarily absent. The position is often likened to that of a vice president, but is significantly different, though both positions are "number two" offices. The position of Deputy Prime Minister should not be confused with the Canadian office of the Deputy Minister of the Prime Minister of Canada, which is a non-political civil servant position. The states of Australia and provinces of Canada each have the analogous office of Deputy Premier. Deputy Prime Ministers traditionally serve as acting Prime Minister when the real Prime Minister is temporarily absent or incapable of exercising his/her power. For this reason the Deputy PM is often asked to succeed to the Prime Minister's office following the PM's sudden death or unexpected resignation, although this is not necessarily constitutionally mandated. Deputy Prime Minister is often a job that is held simultaneously with another ministry, and is usually given to one of the most senior, experienced ministers of the cabinet. A Deputy Prime Minister may also be Deputy Leader of the governing party, or the leader of the junior party of a coalition government.
  • 副首相（ふくしゅしょう、英語: Deputy Prime Minister・Vice Prime Minister）は、内閣を構成する大臣の役職のひとつ。
  • Een vicepremier of viceminister-president is plaatsvervanger van een premier of minister-president. In het algemeen vervangt de vicepremier de premier of minister-president bij kabinetsvergaderingen wanneer de premier of minister-president in het buitenland is, bij ziekte of bij andere afwezigheid voor korte of langere tijd. De vicepremier neemt ook de taken van de premier over wanneer hij of zij niet meer in staat is het land te regeren. Het eerste deel van het woord is afkomstig van het Latijnse woord vice dat in plaats van betekent. Een kabinet kan meerdere vicepremiers bevatten. Veelal zijn dit de leidende ministers namens hun coalitie-partijen in de regering.
  • En visestatsminister er, i noen land, et regjeringsmedlem som kan ta posisjonen som statsminister når statsministeren er midlertidig fraværende. Posisjonen sidestilles ofte med visepresident, men er betydelig annerledes. Visestatsminister er ofte en stilling som innehas på samme tid som et annet ministerembete, og gis ofte til den eldste og mest erfarne i en regjering.
