The Saudi government stressed on Tuesday that the Kingdom’s decades-long investments in energy security and alternative export routes have bolstered its ability to supply the world with energy during the most challenging circumstances despite geopolitical tensions in the region and their repercussions on global supply chains.

On behalf of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, the Crown Prince welcomed pilgrims arriving from around the world to Saudi Arabia to perform the Hajj, underlining the Kingdom’s pride in serving the Grand Mosque of Makkah and the Prophet's Mosque of Madinah.
Crown Prince Mohammed directed that all resources and capabilities be utilized to ensure the success of the organizational, security, and preventative plans adopted for this year's Hajj, and to continue providing the highest quality services and facilities to the pilgrims in Makkah, Madinah, the holy sites, and at air, land, and sea ports of entry.

The milestone reflects the success of national efforts aimed at developing exports, expanding the Kingdom's export base, and strengthening its position among the world's fastest-growing economies.
