RIYADH, Aug. 26 (Xinhua) -- Saudi Arabia announced Saturday the launch of a media center to serve the international press reporting the current Hajj season.
The Ministry of Culture and Information said in a statement that the center will issue news releases in multiple languages, including English, French and German.
It will also provide services for foreign research and cultural organizations, the ministry added.
According to Islam doctrines, every Muslim, if physical and economic conditions permit, will carry out the Hajj pilgrimage to Saudi's Mecca, the holiest city for Muslims, at least once in a lifetime.
