UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and Saudi Arabia’s permanent representative to the UN Abdullah Al- Muallami unveiled a beautifully framed old kiswa (covering) of the door of the Holy Kaaba at one of the newly refurbished halls of the world body. The kiswa curtain was presented to the UN in the early 1980s and that piece has now been replaced with a new one. Ban Ki-moon thanked Saudi Arabia for the precious gift. (SPA)
