Kuwaiti Prime Minister Sheikh Sabah Al Khaled Al Sabah and members of his new government performed the constitutional oath before the country’s National Assembly on Tuesday.
Article 91 of the Kuwaiti constitution requires members of the government who are not members of parliament to take the constitutional oath in a session of the National Assembly, according to the Kuwait News Agency (Kuna).
Last week, members of the new Kuwaiti government were sworn in before Crown Prince Sheikh Mishaal Al Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah at the Bayan Palace, a day after the crown prince issued a decree to form the new cabinet headed by Sheikh Sabah.
Sheikh Sabah was reappointed last month to form a new government following the resignation of his previous cabinet after a political stand-off with the Kuwaiti parliament.
Also reappointed as Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Oil is Mohammed Abdul Latif Al Fares, who has announced an oil production target for the ministry of 3.5 million barrels per day by 2025, up from the current 2.6m bpd production average.

What is graphene?
Graphene is extracted from graphite and is made up of pure carbon.
It is 200 times more resistant than steel and five times lighter than aluminum.
It conducts electricity better than any other material at room temperature.
It is thought that graphene could boost the useful life of batteries by 10 per cent.
Graphene can also detect cancer cells in the early stages of the disease.
The material was first discovered when Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov were 'playing' with graphite at the University of Manchester in 2004.
