欧美文化:Kuwait's new emir accepts cabinet's resignation
KUWAIT CITY, Dec. 20 (Xinhua) -- Kuwait's new Emir Sheikh Mishal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah accepted cabinet's resignation on Wednesday, the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) reported.
The cabinet, led by Prime Minister Sheikh Ahmad Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, would continue as a caretaker government to handle urgent matters until a new one is formed, KUNA added.
Earlier Wednesday, Sheikh Mishal officially assumed the role of emir at an oath-taking ceremony at the National Assembly.
In his speech to the parliament, the new emir highlighted "the importance of accountability within the framework of the law."
"Both the legislative and executive authorities must fulfil their duties for the benefit of the country and its citizens," he said.
The 83-year-old emir urged the government and parliament to examine the current situation from perspectives such as security, economy, and people's livelihoods. He also reiterated his commitment to cooperation in the Gulf region and internationally.
He succeeds the late Emir Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, who passed away at the age of 86 on Dec. 16. Sheikh Mishal is the 17th ruler of the oil-rich Gulf state.
