At the meeting, Minister Yaqut also called for an increase in the quota of Hajj pilgrims for Indonesia to shorten the waiting time for pilgrimage in Indonesia.

Hajj and Umrah Minister of Saudi Arabia Tawfiq Al-Rabiah stated that his country prioritizes the safety and comfort of pilgrims in carrying out Hajj services.

"Comfort and safety are priorities. However, I say Indonesia will always get priority in receiving additional quotas," he said.

He also noted that the transformation of Hajj services in Saudi Arabia is still ongoing until now.
