Ammon News - Minister of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs and Holy Sites, Dr. Mohammad Khalayleh, Tuesday discussed with Saudi Minister of Hajj and Umrah Dr. Tawfiq Rabiah, cooperation and ways to facilitate procedures to perform Umrah (Lesser Pilgrimage) by land and air for Jordanians.

Speaking at the meeting held in the holy Mecca city, Khalayleh stressed the importance of the "close and strong" Jordanian-Saudi relations, thanks to the wisdom of the two countries' leadership and their continued keenness to strengthen ties.
