Amir names Sheikh Ahmad Al-Abdullah as new premier

HH Kuwait's Amir Sheikh Mishal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah has appointed Sheikh Ahmad Al-Abdullah Al-Sabah as the new prime minister.

Sheikh Ahmad, a US-educated veteran, replaces HH Sheikh Dr Mohammad Sabah Al-Salem Al-Sabah, who resigned after snap parliamentary polls.

Sheikh Ahmad, a top banker, was a member of the Kuwaiti Cabinet between 1999 and 2009, where he became the minister of finance, oil, health, information, planning and communications.

Lawmakers welcomed the appointment, stating that cooperation with the new government is linked to the selection of qualified ministers and completing political and legislative reforms. They also warned against using the issue of raising citizens' standard of living as a bargaining chip for other issues.

The Social Reform Society opens the 46th Islamic Book Fair

The exhibition's identity and logo are derived from a panoramic view of Kuwait, specifically the iconic Kuwait Towers, which symbolize the formation of awareness. The Social Reform Society is the first Kuwaiti institution to hold a specialized book fair, the Islamic Book Fair, which has been held annually for 46 years.

Kuwait National Assembly ‘opener’ on April 21

Kuwait's Assembly, led by MP Saleh Ashour, is set to hold its opening session on April 21. The Assembly's secretariat contacted former speaker Ahmad Al-Saadoun, who was the oldest member at 90 years old, to chair the opening session. Ashour became the lawmaker to chair the opening session after the Amir Sheikh Mishal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah issued a decree postponing the opening session to May 14. The opening session is expected to be ceremonial, as no government has been formed and no Assembly session can be held without at least one Cabinet minister. The controversy began when an Amir decree was issued inviting MPs for an April 17 opening session.
