He also pointed to Indonesia's great Islamic and international weight, in addition to that the two countries being members of the G20.
Dr. Al-Rabiah explained that during the last Hajj season, and in the aftermath of the pandemic (COVID-19), the numbers increased, registering around 211,000 Indonesian pilgrims who were able to perform their rituals, while the number of Umrah performers coming from Indonesia over the past few months exceeded more than one million.
The visit included meetings with several officials and specialists from the public and private sectors, including a meeting with the Minister of Tourism and Knowledge Creativity, Sandiaga Uno, to discuss increasing the number of flights between the two countries.
