Union Minister for Parliamentary and Minority Affairs Kiren Rijiju visited the iconic Al Rahmah Mosque on the Red Sea coastline in Saudi Arabia on Saturday.
Known popularly as the Floating Mosque, the landmark showcases the rich Islamic heritage and grand architecture of Saudi Arabia. Rijiju shared details of his visit on social media platform X.
He called the venue a remarkable site of spiritual importance and visual beauty. Rijiju arrived in the coastal city on Friday to attend the 6th Haj Conference and Exhibition 2027.
Indian Consul General Fahad Suri received the minister upon his arrival at the airport. Rijiju will sign a key bilateral Haj agreement with Saudi Arabian authorities during his official trip.
He plans to review all operational preparations to ensure smooth travel for Indian citizens next year. The minister highlighted his focus on delivering a safe and comfortable journey for pilgrims.
Last month, Indian Ambassador Vipul met Vice Minister of Hajj and Umrah Abdulfattah bin Suleiman Al-Mashat. They discussed coordination between the Indian Haj Mission and Saudi authorities for Haj 2027.
Ambassador Vipul also inspected key transit points, including the Haj Terminal at Jeddah Airport. He visited the Haramain High Speed Railway Station to check infrastructure and operational readiness.
Over 100,000 Indian pilgrims travel to Saudi Arabia through the official Haj Committee of India route. These facilities act as vital operational nodes for pilgrim arrivals and local movement.
Indian officials continue close discussions with Saudi ministries to streamline processes ahead of the pilgrimage. Rijiju will participate in several high-level meetings throughout his visit to Jeddah.
