Kuwait's Amir His Highness Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al Sabah has issued a decree dissolving the country's parliament, the state news agency said.

He earlier received the Crown prince Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah and Prime Minister Sheikh Jaber Al-Mubarak Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, said the Kuna report.

The decree was issued after examination of the Constitution's clause 107 and due to mounting security challenges as well as volatile regional developments, the report said.
