Saudi Ambassador to the Sudan Ali bin Hassan Jafar hailed the generous offer of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud to host 1,000 Sudanese male and female pilgrims. The directive is implemented by the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Call and Guidance. Lauding the wise leadership of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Ambassador Jafar stressed that such a generous guidance from the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques is an evidence of the great status and appreciation enjoyed by the brotherly Sudanese people, and it comes as an extension of the Kingdom's renewed commitment towards its brothers, pointing out that this contribution has found favor amidst the general Sudanese people, who responded by valuing such a move, which is not strange, neither to the King or the Kingdom, as they have been known throughout the history of serving Muslims.
