Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al Jaber Al-Sabah approved a new government formed by Prime Minister Sheikh Jaber Al-Mubarak Al-Sabah, the state-run KUNA news agency reported.
The ministers of oil, finance, foreign affairs, commerce, interior and defense in the new 11-member Cabinet remain the same, KUNA reported, citing an Emiri decree.
Sheikh Sabah dissolved parliament on Dec 6 and said elections should be held, after a dispute over corruption allegations sparked anti-government protests unprecedented in the Persian Gulf state.
New elections, according the constitution, must be held within 60 days of the dissolution of parliament.
The 10-minister cabinet will last until the announcement of the results of the parliamentary elections expected to be held in early February.
Parliament was dissolved after the Cabinet, headed by Sheikh Nasser Al-Mohammed Al-Sabah, resigned following months of protests.
