Culture&Information Ministry hosts reception for Media men covering Hajj 2 Jeddah

For his part, the information adviser to the President of the
Republic of Senegal Abdullah Sik delivered the address of the
delegations of the African continent, in which he praised the leading
role of the Government of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King
Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al- Saud to serve the pilgrims in various
domains during their journey of faith in the holy sites.

Sik said the surging numbers of pilgrims compared to their numbers
few decades ago, clearly indicated the tremendous size and the huge
volume of efforts that are being exerted by the Government of the
Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques.

Speaking on behalf of the delegations of the European continent,
Prof. of Andalusian Literature Dr. Hassan Mansour, said the message
of information is no longer confined to conveying and delivering to
the recipient, but it has been transformed as a vital resource and a
channel for an effective role in shaping the public opinion and
formulating a course towards any issue or topic.

Prof. Mansour called on the media organs to seize the opportunity to
convey the true image of Islam's tolerance and to counter anyone who
tries to spread falsities about the valued and righteous essence of
Islam.
