The FALG became much more important in the 1990s as the PRC leadership became much more institutionalized and less focused on factional and informal politics. Since 1993 the leader of the group had also served as General Secretary of the Communist Party of China and President of the People's Republic of China.

The main execution body of the FALG is the Foreign Affairs Office.

In March 2018, the leading group was redesignated the Central Foreign Affairs Commission.[1]
