Kuwait's newly formed government took the oath on Wednesday before Kuwaiti Crown Prince Sheikh Mishal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah at Bayan Palace, the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) reported. It is the oil-rich Gulf emirate's fourth government in two years.
During the oath, the crown prince called on legislative and executive authorities to cooperate in achieving national goals, KUNA said.
"You have responsibilities and duties that require diligent work in the spirit of one team, to improve economic programs and advance development in the country," he said.
"We look forward with full hope and optimism to a constructive and fruitful cooperation between the legislative and executive authorities to approve and implement legislation and laws that are in the interest of the country and citizens."
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Sheikh Sabah Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah expressed his commitment to the Kuwaiti emir's instructions that are aimed at harnessing all efforts to serve the country and the citizens.
Kuwait on Tuesday formed a new government led by Al-Sabah.
On November 8, the previous Kuwaiti government submitted its resignation to the emir. On November 14, the emir accepted the resignation. On November 23, the crown prince issued an order on behalf of the emir to appoint Al-Sabah as prime minister and assign him to form a new government.
It is the fourth government that Al-Sabah has formed since his appointment as prime minister in December 2019.
Kuwait is the only Gulf Arab state with a fully elected parliament, which enjoys wide legislative powers and can vote ministers out of office.
