Jeddah, Shawwal 25, 1438, July 19, 2017, SPA -- Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud here today was briefed on Al-Faisaliah residential and administrative project in Makkah, which was presented by Prince Khalid Al Faisal, Advisor to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and governor of Makkah region. The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques gave the name of Al-Faisaliah to the project which had been named Salmaniyah in recognition of the late King Faisal's care for Makkah. The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud delivered a speech in which he said, "I am thankful to Prince Khalid for his efforts in Makkah and the development of the region as a whole. This city is part of the development between Makkah and Jeddah. This is not strange to Khalid as his father is the late King Faisal who was the king's deputy in the Hijaz. This is evidence of the interest of this country in the two Holy Mosques in Makkah and Medina. "It is my honor as it was the honor of the ones before me to be custodians of the two holy mosques and whoever serves the two holy mosques, serves Islam and Muslims. "Our country - praise to Allah - is the starting point of Islam and the starting point of Arabism, and we were honored by God when He sent down His book to an Arab prophet. I ask God Almighty to grant us what He loves and pleases and to guide Prince Khalid as he is always successful in serving his religion, country and people." The event was attended by a number of ministers and officials. --SPA 00:35 LOCAL TIME 21:35 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w448862
