News about the health of the Amir of Kuwait, who is in the United States for medical treatment, is "very reassuring," parliament speaker Marzouq al-Ghanim said on Sunday in a statement on the parliamentary Twitter account.
Kuwait's 91-year-old ruler, Amir Shaikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Sabah arrived in the United States on Thursday to complete medical treatment following surgery for an unspecified condition in Kuwait.
The Amir's designated successor Crown Prince Shaikh Nawaf al-Ahmed al-Sabah temporarily took over some of the ruler's constitutional duties last Saturday.
