JEDDAH: The 11th Hajj is Worship and Civilized Behavior campaign kicked off on Wednesday under the slogan “Hajj is a message of peace,” launched by Prince Khaled Al-Faisal, adviser to King Salman, governor of Makkah, and chairman of the Central Hajj Committee. The prince said that King Salman’s royal order establishing a Royal Commission for Makkah city and Holy Sites, headed by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, reflects the government’s keenness to improve these areas and provide visitors with the best services.
He described this move as a great development event in Makkah and the holy sites at a time when Saudi Arabia is eager to develop its capacities to serve pilgrims.
Prince Khaled said: “After the commission’s first board meeting, I can say that I am optimistic about the future of Makkah and the holy sites. We look forward to manifesting in the coming years the commission’s mission and projects as well as the way these projects will be planned and implemented.”
He thanked the security men for their exceptional work and said: “I’ve been watching the security’s performance during Hajj season since I was appointed the governor of Makkah, and I grow prouder each year of what they do to serve Islam, Saudi Arabia, and humanity.”
He also thanked the high and central Hajj committees for handling the reports submitted to them last year, and improving work processes and services in preparation for this year’s Hajj season.
