In Kuwait, the cabinet decided to stop naming streets and roads, except for those that bear the names of the rulers of the State of Kuwait and those of brotherly and friendly countries, and to begin numbering them instead.

Local media reported that the cabinet urged reciprocity when naming the capitals of friendly and brotherly countries.

A decision was made by the Council of Ministers to assign the Minister of Municipality the task of naming streets and roads only after the rulers and numbering them.

Also, the names of existing streets and roads will not be changed, and this only applies to new streets and roads.
