Saudi newspapers highlighted in their editorials today a number of local, regional and international issues. Locally, Albilad newspaper hailed kingdom's efforts to facilitate all matters of Hajj and Umrah for those coming from all over the world as the kingdom every year receives millions of visitors and pilgrims who come to the Holy Land. The newspaper added that Makkah enjoys great interest by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, the Crown Prince, the Second Deputy Premier and the wise government in order to support all the service projects in Makkah, Madinah and the holy places. The newspaper stated, "This is why the kingdom invited the Islamic countries to reduce the number of their pilgrims by twenty percent with the reduction of the number of local pilgrims by fifty percent because the expansion is still going on in the Two Holy Mosques and the holy places." --More 10:56 LOCAL TIME 07:56 GMT تغريد
