Addressing a group of citizens who came to greet him on the occasion of Eid Al-Fitr at his office in Jeddah, Prince Naif emphasized the need for helping the poor and needy.
“Social support and giving to those in need should be the hallmark of every citizen,” he said.
Prince Naif extended Eid greetings to Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah, Crown Prince Sultan, deputy premier and minister of defense and aviation, and Saudi citizens across the country. “I take this opportunity to thank all those who served the guests of God in Makkah and Madinah and on their way to the holy cities,” the minister said.
About three million pilgrims from abroad and more than five million from within the Kingdom, including expatriate workers performed Umrah during Ramadan.
The reception was attended by a large number of princes and officials including Makkah Gov. Prince Khaled Al-Faisal, Prince Ahmed, deputy interior minister, and Prince Muhammad bin Naif, assistant interior minister for security affairs.
