JEDDAH: Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Hajj and Umrah Dr. Tawfiq Al-Rabiah began an official visit to Pakistan and Bangladesh, the state-run SPA news agency reported on Saturday. “The purpose of the visits is to explore pioneering initiatives in the development of Umrah systems and the facilitation of visitors’ journeys to the Two Holy Mosques,” SPA said. During the visits, Al-Rabiah, who is also chairman of the Guests of God Service Program Committee will also meet with several officials to discuss streamlining the arrival procedures for Umrah performers from Pakistan and Bangladesh, and enhancing their religious and cultural experiences, aligning with the goals of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030. The visits are part of a series of international tours initiated in early 2022 and reflect the Kingdom’s commitment to improving the quality of services provided to Umrah performers, “supported by the Saudi government’s unwavering dedication to serving Islam and Muslims worldwide,” SPA added.
