Kuwait is set to celebrate the International Day of Democracy on Monday, with the country being known as one of the most prominent democratic countries in the Arab world.
The National Assembly is the biggest example of the democracy enjoyed by Kuwait, with the parliament holding multiple continuous sessions since its establishment in the early 60s up to the present day.
The current National Assembly building was opened in February 1986; designed by Danish architect Jorn Utzon, who had also designed the Sydney Opera House. The building contains the Abdullah Al-Salem Hall, which is the main hall named after the late Amir, with a capacity for 1,000 persons.
