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.

Saudi Minister of Justice Walid Al-Samaani has visited the European Union Agency for Criminal Justice Cooperation (Eurojust) in The Hague.

During his visit on Tuesday, he was received by Eurojust President Michael Schmid, with whom he discussed ways to enhance cooperation in the judicial and legal fields in a manner that promotes justice and human rights.

Al-Samaani highlighted the key developments in the Kingdom’s judicial sector, supported by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, and Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, within the framework of the Saudi Vision 2030.

He pointed out that the right to litigate is guaranteed to both citizens and residents of the Kingdom, with all judicial guarantees provided, ensuring equal treatment for all parties and fairness in disputes.

He also highlighted the key reforms in the judicial sector that have reinforced the principles of transparency and public access, including recording court sessions with audio and video, publishing judicial rulings, launching electronic litigation services, and activating the preventive justice system.
