Kuwait’s Crown Prince, Nawaf Al-Ahmed Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, has taken the constitutional oath before the country’s unicameral parliament as the new ruler of the Persian Gulf monarchy, according to the state-run TV.

The oath-taking makes the crown prince the 16th Emir of Kuwait.

His appointment was declared after the government’s emergency meeting that took place late on Tuesday following the news of the death of Emir Sabah IV.

“Our country is currently passing through a sensitive time. I promise the Kuwaiti citizens to preserve the unity of the country and act for its security and stability,” the emir said during his inauguration ceremony.

The new emir stressed that Kuwait would remain a state ruled by the law and government structures.

According to Kuwait’s legislation, the heir to the throne automatically becomes the country’s new ruler after the death of the previous one.

However, his powers enter into force only after a swearing-in ceremony before the National Assembly.

Emir Sabah IV had ruled Kuwait since 2006.

He briefly served as prime minister and foreign minister for several decades before that.
