JAKARTA - President Prabowo Subianto expressed his gratitude to the World Muslim League and the Government of Saudi Arabia for their support for the plan to build a Hajj Village for Indonesian pilgrims in the country.
This was conveyed by Deputy Minister of Hajj and Umrah Dahnil Anzar Simanjuntak after accompanying President Prabowo to meet the Secretary General of the World Muslim League Syekh Mohammed bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa at the Merdeka Palace, Jakarta, Thursday, December 4.
"President Prabowo also said that in principle he thanked the World Muslim League, especially the Saudi Arabian Government for allowing Indonesia to plan to build Hajj Villages in Saudi Arabia," said Dahnil at the Presidential Palace complex, Jakarta, as reported by ANTARA.
Dahnil said President Prabowo hopes that the existence of the Hajj Village can improve the quality of services for Indonesian pilgrims in the future.
He also revealed that the World Muslim League will also talk to the Government of Saudi Arabia regarding the plan to build the Hajj Village.
"The World Muslim league will participate in talking with the Government of Saudi Arabia, in this case Prince Crown, MBS (Muhammad bin Salman Al Saud), to jointly simplify Indonesia's plan to build Hajj Villages in Saudi Arabia," he said.
Dahnil also said that Sheikh Mohammed assessed that President Prabowo Subianto had a strong influence in the midst of the Islamic world.
According to Dahnil, Sheikh Mohammed provided a number of notes regarding Indonesia's position under President Prabowo's leadership, including the view that Indonesia's influence is increasingly prominent both in the Islamic world and at the global level.
He also expressed his appreciation for Indonesia's role in efforts to deal with the situation and encouragement of peace in Gaza and Palestine, which is considered to have received attention not only from Muslim-majority countries, but also from Western countries.
The Secretary General of the World Muslim League hopes that Indonesia, through President Prabowo's leadership, can appear as one of the main faces in the Islamic world.
The role shown by Indonesia is currently considered to provide space for this hope, including in an effort to encourage the birth of peace for the Islamic world.
"President Prabowo's roles and leadership today have a tremendous influence. And hopefully President Prabowo can bring the qibla of peace in the Islamic world through Indonesia," said Dahnil.
