Kuwait City: Kuwait is set to have a new cabinet led by Prime Minister Sheikh Sabah Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah, the state media reported.
Kuwait's Emir Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah received the Prime Minister, approved the new cabinet formation handed by him, and wished him the best in serving the people of Kuwait, Xinhua news agency quoted the state media report as saying.
The Emir hoped that the executive and legislative powers would cooperate for the sake of Kuwait's development and welfare, the report said.
The previous government ceased to be in office on November 8, when the prime minister submitted its resignation and the Emir accepted it on November 14.
On November 23, Kuwaiti Crown Prince Sheikh Mishal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah issued an order on behalf of the emir to appoint Sheikh Sabah Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah as Prime Minister and assign him to form a government.
Kuwait is a country with an active parliament and witnesses cabinet changes more often than its sister countries in the Gulf Co-operation Council.
