In a recent decision, the Kuwait Cabinet has directed the Minister of Public Works to initiate the replacement of road names across Kuwait with numerical designations. This directive excludes roads honoring heads of state and those named after foreign countries or cities as part of reciprocal agreements.

Per the cabinet's resolution, the naming of roads, roundabouts, and similar infrastructure will be restricted to honor sultans, kings, rulers, princes, and heads of state exclusively. Additionally, it emphasized that naming roads, streets, and squares after nations and capitals must adhere to reciprocity principles outlined in relevant protocols and regulations.
