Prominent dignitaries in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia today lauded the selection of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques as the Islamic world's most popular and supportive personality for the second time in a row. They considered the plebiscite as a confirmation of the world's appreciation of the Kingdom's position and the king's initiatives and an honor for whoever belongs to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. They said placing the king first of Islamic leaders also confirms the Kingdom's success in giving the Kingdom a renowned status not only in the Arab and Islamic worlds but also in the world at large through a package of political, economic, social and humanitarian positions and initiatives.
