‘I swear by God Almighty to respect the Constitution and the Laws of the State, to defend the people’s liberties, their interests and their property, and to safeguard the Nation’s independence and the safety of its territories.’

HH Sheikh Mishal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah is Kuwait's 17th ruler under the Constitution and the Emirates Legacy Law. In accordance with the Emirates Legacy Law, the Council of Ministers declared him Amir of Kuwait on Saturday.
