Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah on Thursday re-appointed his cabinet, with all ministers keeping their posts after speculation of major changes, Saudi media reported.

 

State television read the text of decrees issued by the king, which also named a number of officials to other posts.

 

According to Reuters, a reshuffle was expected this week. Saudi rulers have set a pattern of announcing new cabinets every four years at the onset of the third month of the Islamic calendar.
