Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Mishal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah accepted Sunday the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammad Al-Sabah Al-Salem Al-Sabah.

An Emiri Order accepted the government's resignation and instructed it to act as caretaker until the formation of a new cabinet.

The Prime Minister submitted his cabinet's resignation as expected to the Emir on Saturday.
The move comes after a new parliament was elected on Thursday and is a procedural one as the current government has to submit its resignation before the legislature's inauguration.

The Emir on Sunday signed a decree calling on the National Assembly to convene on Wednesday April 17.

Sheikh Mishal met separately on Sunday former National Assembly speakers Ahmad Al-Sadoun and Marzouq Al-Ghanim.

The meetings were part of current consultations for forming a new government.

The minister called for stronger collaboration, better strategies, and capacity-building to tackle these threats.
He also said that the GCC interior ministers’ meeting strengthens joint security efforts to tackle new challenges, supporting regional stability and development.
