Kuwait City
Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabeh has been sworn in as the new Emir of Kuwait on Wednesday. He vowed to carry out his responsibilities to his utmost best, state news agency KUNA has reported.
Al-Sabah said the country’s constitution ensured a “smooth transition” of leadership, as the country mourned the death of his brother Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah who ruled Kuwait since 2006.
“The trust bestowed upon me by the Kuwaiti people is a trust I bear in my neck,” the new Emir said. — Agencies
