In which city was the India-Saudi Arabia Bilateral Haj Agreement for Haj-2027 signed?

  1. A.Riyadh
  2. B.Jeddah
  3. C.Madinah
  4. D.New Delhi

Correct answer

B. Jeddah

Explanation

The correct answer is Jeddah. The agreement for the coming pilgrimage was signed in that city, immediately after the bilateral meeting held at the Jeddah Superdome between the Indian and Saudi ministers in charge of the pilgrimage. Jeddah is also where the rest of the visit was centred: the Indian Minister attended the opening of the Hajj Conference and Exhibition there, joined the Noor-e-Diwali gathering at India House in the city, and chaired a review meeting with officers of the Consulate General of India, the Ministry of Minority Affairs and the Haj Committee of India. Option A, Riyadh, is the Saudi capital but was not the venue for this signing. Option C, Madinah, is one of the holy cities visited during the pilgrimage itself and had no part in the signing. Option D, New Delhi, is wrong because the Indian Minister travelled to the Kingdom for the agreement rather than hosting it at home.
