President Dr Mohamed Muizzu has thanked the Saudi Arabian government for the excellent hospitality shown to Hajj pilgrims. The President made the remark in a meeting with Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Hajj and Umrah, Dr Tawfig F. Al-Rabiah.
During a courtesy call on the President by the Hajj Minister, President Muizzu extended his profound gratitude to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, His Majesty King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, and His Royal Highness Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, for their sincere consideration towards Maldivian pilgrims and for the outstanding services provided. The President highlighted that the Maldives’ inclusion in the Makkah Route Initiative has greatly facilitated travel procedures for pilgrims and commended the exceptional hospitality and accommodation arrangements made for this year’s Hajj.
President Dr Muizzu and First Lady Madam Sajidha Mohamed, accompanied by a high-level delegation, are currently in Saudi Arabia to perform the Hajj pilgrimage. The delegation is being hosted by the Government of Saudi Arabia, a generous gesture that reflects the close brotherly ties and longstanding friendship between the Maldives and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
