Kuwait's Crown Prince Sheikh Meshal al-Ahmad Al-Sabah is to attend parliament's opening session on Tuesday after elections on Sept. 29, state news agency KUNA reported on Monday.

The crown prince took over most of the emir's duties late last year.

Kuwait on Sunday reshuffled the cabinet. It appointed Bader al Mulla as its new oil minister in a new government, the Ministry of Information in the Gulf country said.

Abdul Wahab al-Rasheed was also appointed finance minister and Salem Al-Sabah as foreign minister, the ministry added.

Earlier this month, Sheikh Meshal re-appointed Sheikh Ahmad Nawaf Al-Sabah, the ruling emir's son, as prime minister.
