King Salman and Saudis ‘compete to serve pilgrims’

Dean of the Diplomatic Corps in Saudi Arabia Dya-eddin Said Bamakhrama, ambassador of Djibouti, has hailed the security and the stability along with welfare that Saudi Arabia provides for the pilgrims.
Speaking from Mount Arafat, 
Bamakhrama said Saudi Arabia enhances development in expanding the Grand Mosque providing what is necessary for pilgrims. When the third expansion is completed, it will accommodate three times the number in the past.

“Custodian of the two Holy Mosques King Salman and Saudis compete and race to serve the pilgrims with love and care and on the top of that, Saudi Arabia raises the flag of monotheism which is always fluttering and can’t be lowered,” he observed.
He said what really has captured his attention was the similarity of his experience in two cases. "While I am on Mount Arafat, I can see the wise government’s massive efforts in serving the Grand Mosque and also the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah."
He said Saudi Arabia shows all its humane policy and financial potential to accomplish this great Islamic task as well as to make it a success.
“The synchronization of the political role and the sovereign one of Saudi Arabia, whose rulers have vowed to serve the pilgrims and provide security for them, has offered me the opportunity to deeply think about these two actions and contemplate the foundation day of Saudi Arabia on September 23rd in the hands of the founder, King Abdulaziz Al-Saud"

He added: "That inspired the Islamic leader who hoisted the flag of monotheism and unified the Arabian Peninsula, the tribes, clans and its farthest areas in the north, south, east and west after it had been throughout its history an arena of warfare and instability so that its deserts, valleys and roads posed threats to pilgrims because of the gangsters and highwaymen, but now it became safer thanks first to Allah and then to King Abdulaziz and his faithful sons."
He said: "The ongoing massive expansion at the two holy mosques is being implemented round the clock to achieve great prosperity in an impressive fashion. They use the most up-to-date equipment and techniques to get the job done as soon as possible.

“This work is carried out under a very careful inspection and control from the top bodies of the state. We have never heard of what disrupted or impeded the work there except for the last setback that claimed the lives of some pilgrims and injured some others,” he observed.
The leadership maintains social harmony between the authority and citizens in the Saudi community. King Salman’s door has always been open to meet and listen to his people's concerns in a unique welcoming fashion.
“Saudi Arabia has always been a great assistance to brother countries and the whole world. I always see Saudi Arabia coming forward with its money and people to assist and provide aid in disaster-hit areas in any part of the world,” he noted.
