Letter Published in The National UAE on 30June 19More Indian pilgrims will see the wonders of Saudi Arabia

I write with reference to your online article Saudi Arabia raises India’s Hajj quota to 200,000(June 28).

This must have been wonderful news for the nation’s devout pilgrims. The decision was made at a recent meeting of India’s prime minister Narendra Modi and Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the G20 summit.

What a good idea. With increase of 30,000, even more Indian citizens will have the chance to visit Saudi Arabia, which will help to forge deep personal relationships with the country, in addition to the strong trading links that exist between these two great countries. Kudos to both men for this gesture.
