The Muslim World League (MWL), and Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Secretary-General Dr. Abdullatif bin Rashid Al-Zayani, lauded Saudi efforts to serve all pilgrims, Umrah performers and visitors of the Two Holy Mosques, including some 18,000 Syrians this year.
Al-Zayani thanked King Salman and crown prince for their efforts to ensure pilgrim safety.
The MWL rejected false claims that Saudi authorities have barred Syrians from performing Hajj and Umrah. The Kingdom annually receives pilgrims of more than 80 nations without any discrimination, and provides them with world-class services to perform their rituals in ease and comfort, the league said.
