King Abdullah, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, has sent a cable of appreciation to Prince Naif Bin Abdul Aziz, Interior Minister and Chairman of the Supreme Haj Committee, on the success of this year's Haj. The King said: “We thank you and all those of all sectors who participated in this task for their noble feelings and their sincere prayers. We express our great satisfaction over and pride in the splendid integration achieved by those sectors' implementation of all (security, service, organizational and preventive) plans and the development of the mechanisms of their implementation which enabled the pilgrims to perform their rituals in tranquility and peace.” “ In our view, it is the most honorable and noble service God honored us to provide. Thanks to God, our men proved their well-preparedness which resulted in the success of discharging this noble responsibility perfectly despite the challenges of the limited space, the time contraints and the increased number of pilgrims every year.”
