Kuwait on Monday announced the formation of a 12-member cabinet led by Prime Minister Sheikh Ahmad Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah.
Talal Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah was appointed as deputy prime minister, minister of defense, and acting interior minister, said Kuwait Center for Government Communication, citing a Kuwaiti Amiri decree.
Muhammad Al-Faris was appointed as deputy premier, minister of oil, and minister of state for cabinet affairs, Abdul Wahab al-Rasheed as minister of finance and minister of economic affairs and investment, and Ahmed Nasser Al-Sabah as minister of foreign affairs.
In May, the Kuwaiti emir approved the resignation of then Prime Minister Sabah Al-Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah and his cabinet, in which Ahmad served as first deputy prime minister and minister of interior.
