S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 Sheikh Meshal al-Ahmad al-Sabah, 83, was announced as the new emir of Kuwait on Saturday (16), following the death of his half-brother and former emir, Sheikh Nawaf al-Ahmad al-Sabah, on the same day after an emergency hospital admission in November.<\/p>\n
Sheikh Nawaf al-Sabah had been the emir of Kuwait since 2020, but in 2021, he delegated responsibilities to then crown prince Sheikh Meshal al-Sabah, who dedicated much of his public career to building Kuwait’s security systems and military apparatus. According to information from news agencies, Sheik Meshal al-Sabah is expected to maintain close ties with Saudi Arabia and seek to rebuild the relationship with the Kuwaiti parliament, which blocked several proposals from the previous leader.<\/p>\n
Several authorities and global representatives expressed their condolences after Sheikh Nawaf al-Sabah’s death, including the president of the United States, Joe Biden, and the heads of state of Qatar, Palestine, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia, among other countries.<\/p>\n
