The Kuwaiti parliament was among the first legislative assemblies formed in the Arab world.
It was established as a constituent assembly in 1962 during rule of the late Amir Sheikh Abdullah Al-Salem Al-Sabah, nearly a year after Kuwait gained its independence -- thus consolidating the State of Kuwait democratic approach. (end) mjz.rk
