Kuwait has formed a new government headed by Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed Sabah al-Salem al-Sabah, the state news agency said on Wednesday.

The prime minister appointed Emad Mohammed al-Atiqi as oil minister for the OPEC producer, Anwar Ali al-Mudhaf as finance minister and Abdullah Ali al-Yahya as the country's foreign minister, Reuters reports.

Earlier this month, Emir of Kuwait Sheikh Mishal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, who came to power in December after his predecessor Sheikh Nawaf died, appointed Sheikh Mohammad as prime minister.

Sheikh Mohammed was tasked with forming a new cabinet.
