| KuwaitÂ’s foreign minister resigns | |
| 2011-11-11 | |
| KUWAIT: The resignation of KuwaitÂ’s Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammad Al-Sabah was accepted on Tuesday and Minister of State for Cabinet Affairs Ali Al-Rashed appointed acting foreign minister, the state news agency reported. The Gulf Arab state is locked in a long-running battle between the government and Parliament, which regularly challenges authority. News agency KUNA did not give a reason for the resignation. Rashed, who is also the Kuwait governmentÂ’s spokesperson, declined to comment. Earlier on Tuesday, Al-Watan and Al-Anbaa daily newspapers said that Sheikh Mohammad failed to attend the weekly cabinet meeting on Monday, a day after he missed an Arab foreign ministers meeting in Cairo to discuss the situation in Syria.
