AlQa'dah 15, 1433, Oct 1, 2012, SPA -- The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud chaired the Cabinet session at Al-Salam Palace in Jeddah on Monday afternoon.
At the outset of the session, the Cabinet extended congratulations to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques for his approval of the Prophet Mosque's expansion and his patronage of laying the foundation stone of the project. With this expansion, the capacity of the Mosque will accommodate up to 1,8 million worshippers. The Cabinet noted with high appreciation the King's speech during his audience with the citizens in Al-Madinah Al-Munawarah region. The Cabinet added that the King's speech included valuable contents towards Islamic religion, Prophet Mohammed-- peace be upon him-- and service of the Two Holy Mosques, and his appeal to all wise people of the world to deter anyone trying to offend religions and prophets.
In a statement to Saudi Press Agency (SPA) following the session, Minister of Culture and Information Dr. Abdulaziz bin Mohieddin Khoja said the cabinet reviewed the readiness of the concerned governmental and private bodies for the service of pilgrims. The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques ordered that all efforts be exerted to provide the best services to the pilgrims. He noted the importance of coordination and cooperation among the concerned bodies as well as the spirit of the teamwork to provide services consistent with the efforts of the state in order to enable pilgrims perform their Hajj rituals with ease and safety.
Dr. Khoja added that the cabinet listened to a report on the activities of the Saudi delegation to the 79th session of the General Assembly of the United Nations, stressing the Kingdom's firm stances towards various global issues, expressed by the Kingdom's speech at the U.N. General Assembly.
