DUBAI - Kuwait's crown prince received a call from the deputy head of the national guard reassuring him of the health of Emir Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Sabah, state news agency KUNA reported on Thursday.

Sheikh Sabah, who has ruled Kuwait since 2006, arrived in the United States last week to complete medical treatment, and is in a stable condition, Kuwait's cabinet said on Monday.
