Kuwait appointed Bader Al Mulla as its new oil minister in a new cabinet, the country’s information ministry said.
Abdul Wahab Al Rasheed was also appointed finance minister and Salem Al Sabah foreign minister, it added.
Earlier this month, Kuwait’s Crown Prince Shaikh Meshal Al Ahmad Al Sabah re-appointed Shaikh Ahmad Nawaf Al Sabah as prime minister.
The Crown Prince first appointed Shaikh Ahmad as prime minister in July after some opposition MPs staged an open-ended sit-in to press for a new premier.
The first parliament session after the September elections in Kuwait was postponed last week to October 18.
