OPEC-member Kuwait named a new oil minister in a cabinet formed on Sunday, according to Reuters. But the new government did not include any changes to key portfolios such as interior, defence, foreign affairs and finance. The most significant change was the appointment of former communications minister Mohammad al-Busairi as the new oil minister, replacing Sheikh Ahmad al-Abdullah al-Sabah. Mustapha al-Shamali was re-appointed as finance minister, KUNA said, and Amani Bouresli, the only female in the new cabinet, was named as minister of trade and industry. She is one of six new faces in the formation. -- SPA
