Le Royaume remet le Rideau de la Kaaba aux Nations Unies
Published in Saudi Press Agency on 27 - 01 - 2016

Le Royaume d'Arabie saoudite a remis mardi soir le rideau de la sainte Kaaba aux Nations-Unies au siège de l'organisation onusienne à New York.
Le représentant permanent du Royaume auprès des Nations Unies, l'ambassadeur Abdallah Al Mouallami et le secrétaire général des Nations Unies Ban Kee Moon ont dévoilé la plaque commémorative du Rideau qui a été fixé dans l'une des salles des Nations Unies après sa restauration.
Dans une allocution prononcée à cette occasion, Al Mouallami a passé en revue les différentes étapes de la confection de la Kiswa (revêtement) de la sainte Kaaba, dont fait partie le rideau de la porte d'entrée.
Son excellence a indiqué que le Roi Fahd Bin Abdulaziz avait offert aux Nations Unies en 1983 ce revêtement qui couvrait la partie orientale de la sainte Demeure. En 2014, les Nations Unies qui procédaient à la restauration de son siège a envoyé le rideau de l'entrée de la sainte Kaaba à l'atelier de confection de la Kiswa pour le restaurer puis le remettre à sa place dans le hall indonésien.
De son côté, le secrétaire général des Nations Unies a remercié le Roi Salman bin Abdulaziz pour son cadeau , tout en mettant l'accent sur l'importance de la Kaaba et de la Kiswa pour tous les musulmans dans le monde.
