Hajj in Focus: Pilgrims gathered at Mount Arafat for the spiritual peak of Hajj despite intense heat, while Saudi authorities said the 1447 AH season ran with an integrated system of security, organization and services; the season drew 1.7M+ pilgrims from 165 nationalities. Cultural Diplomacy: Saudi Arabia launched its Guest of Honor pavilion at the Kuala Lumpur International Book Fair, spotlighting literature, arts, heritage displays, poetry sessions and traditional performances to deepen cultural ties with Malaysia. Maritime Heritage: Jeddah’s Red Sea Museum hosted the “Sunken Treasures” exhibition, highlighting underwater discoveries and conservation efforts along Saudi coasts. Regional Stance: Saudi Arabia reiterated a “no normalization without a guaranteed path” to an independent Palestinian state, adding pressure to Trump’s Abraham Accords push.
