MAKKAH — Minister of Haj and Umrah Mohammed Salih Bentin and Ali Reza Rashidian, head of the Hajj and Pilgrimage Organization in Iran, on Sunday signed a treaty related to the arrival of Iranian pilgrims.

The accord came as Bentin received the Iranian dignitary in his office in the holy city, Saudi Press Agency (SPA) said.

The reception was also attended by Abdulfattah Bin Sulaiman Mashat, deputy minister for Haj and Umrah in the Kingdom, and a number of Saudi officials. Bentin confirmed in a press conference “the keenness of the government of King Salman and Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman to provide all necessary facilities for pilgrims coming from around the world.”

In addition, he expressed his thanks to Iranian pilgrims and their cooperation during the last Haj season, and their dedication to their religious rituals, serenity and peace. Rashidian expressed his thanks for the reception and hospitality, and expressed his best wishes for the success of the upcoming Haj season, as was the case in previous years.
