The Council of Arab Interior Ministers expressed satisfaction with the measures announced by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia regulating this year's Hajj season and limiting it to citizens and residents inside the Kingdom. The Council said in a statement issued today that while it welcomes this wise decision, the Council highly values the keenness of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and HRH the Crown Prince on the health and safety of pilgrims. The Council commended the great efforts made by the Kingdom under these exceptional circumstances, which reflect the wisdom of its leadership and its vast experience in organizing the performance of Hajj rituals in accordance with the Islamic Sharia and the precautionary and preventive measures to limit the spread of the pandemic among pilgrims so they can perform their rituals with comfort and ease.
