沙特国王任命新王储及外交大臣

Saudi Arabia's King Salman bin Abdulaziz reshuffled a number of top posts Wednesday, including naming his nephew Prince Mohammed bin Nayef as the new crown prince.

沙特阿拉伯国王萨勒曼星期三对一些高层职位进行了调整，包括任命他的侄子纳伊夫亲王为新王储。

The new heir apparent replaces the king's half brother, Muqrin, who had just been named crown prince in January when King Salman took power upon the death of the King Abdullah.

看来这位新王储取代了萨勒曼国王的同父异母弟弟穆克林。今年1月沙特国王阿卜杜拉去世，萨勒曼登上王位后任命穆克林为王储。

In another move, all announced by a decree in state media, the king appointed a new foreign minister, elevating the Saudi ambassador to the U.S. Adel al-Jubeir to replace longtime diplomat Saud al-Faisal.

此外，萨勒曼国王通过国家媒体宣布任命新外交大臣的政令，由沙特驻美国大使阿祖贝尔接任长期担任外交大臣的费萨尔。

The king's son, Prince Mohammad bin Salman, is the new deputy crown prince.

萨勒曼的儿子默哈迈德·本·萨勒曼被任命为副王储。
