On May 31, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev had a telephone conversation with the Chairman of the Muslim Board of Uzbekistan, Mufti Sheikh Nuriddin Khaliqnazar.

The Head of State asked about the conditions created for compatriots in Mecca for the Hajj pilgrimage, the health and well-being of the pilgrims.

His Holiness the Mufti emphasized that all organizational measures have been taken to ensure the faithful and perfect performance of the Hajj rituals.

Currently, all 15,000 of our pilgrims have arrived in Saudi Arabia. They are accompanied by more than 300 group leaders, 50 high-class doctors, more than 10 chefs and other specialists.

This year, in accordance with the request of the Uzbek side, the tents in the Arafat area were erected in a closed manner. They were surrounded by heat-resistant panels, a cooling system was installed, carpets and mattresses were laid. This will create additional comfort for pilgrims in the current summer days.

Mufti Nuriddin Kholiknazar conveyed to the President the greetings and prayers of our pilgrims who have made the great pilgrimage with the grace of prayer. Shavkat Mirziyoyev sent greetings to all pilgrims and wished them a safe and healthy return to our country.

The Head of State expressed the hope that the respected pilgrims, upon their return to Uzbekistan, would set an example in strengthening the social environment in their neighborhoods, helping people in need, and encouraging young people to pursue knowledge and education.
