Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today called upon the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) to extend the time of visa approval for hajj pilgrims so all of them could perform the holy hajj as its Ambassador Essa Yousef Essa Alduhailan called on her here.
“Saudi Arabia should extend visa approval time for hajj pilgrims as they can perform the holy hajj,” PM’s Speech Writer Md Nazrul Islam quoted her as saying in a media briefing after the meeting at the premier’s official residence Ganabhaban here.
Islam said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has raised the issue of visa approval time extension for hajj pilgrims.
The ambassador said he is taking initiative to provide visas for the hajj pilgrims who are yet to get their visa for performing hajj.
Over 10,000 hajj pilgrims are yet to get visa from Saudi Arabia due to various complexities.
The Saudi envoy also expressed his country’s investors’ and companies’ interest to implement some projects in Bangladesh and handed over a list of those projects to the prime minister.বিস্তারিত
